-<description><p>Hi there,</p>
-<p>A belated, <strong>Happy Birthday</strong> to the creator of <strong>Perl</strong>. May the joy that you have spread in the past come back to you on this day. Just for record, the birthday was on <strong>27th September</strong>.</p>
-<p>Do you use <strong>homebrew</strong>?</p>
-<p><strong>brian d foy</strong> did all the hard work to get <strong>homebrew</strong> up to the latest <strong>Perl v5.38</strong>. If you are keen to know the details then please do <a href="https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/145939">checkout the pull request</a>.</p>
-<p><strong>Olaf Alders</strong> recently shared his cool creation, <a href="https://github.com/oalders/is">is: an inspector for your environment</a>. I am sure for all <strong>System Administrators</strong> out there, it would be very handy.</p>
-<p>I am not sure, if you noticed this but <a href="https://perlmonks.org/">Perl Mongers</a> certificate expired few days ago. I only noticed as one of the contributor to <a href="https://theweeklychallenge.org">The Weekly Challenge</a> shared link to the site. The very next day, I saw post by <strong>Olaf Alders</strong> on Twitter talking about it and sharing the <a href="https://www.prettygoodping.com">tool</a> that can help avoid such incident in future. The certificate has now been restored.</p>
-<p>Do you know the current maintainer of <strong>CPAN Testers</strong> server?</p>
-<p>I saw <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1538251906982430">Facebook post</a> by <strong>Mark Keating</strong> just few days ago. I remember, <strong>Doug Bell</strong> helped many years ago when I was playing daily <strong>CPAN</strong> upload games. He gave me access to deal with the issues I was facing at the time. I just hope, it stays live and kicking. It is the second best thing for us after <strong>MetaCPAN</strong>. If you are interested to sponsor the <strong>MetaCPAN</strong> then you now have plenty of different options. Please find out more about it in the <a href="https://opencollective.com/metacpan-core">official announcement</a> page.</p>

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) repeatedly threatened that the passage of a continuing resolution would trigger the introduction of the MTV that he’s had in his back pocket for weeks. After the CR passed yesterday, Gaetz promised that it will happen this week.</p> <p>“If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it,” McCarthy told reporters defiantly yesterday.</p> <p>“Kevin McCarthy’s gonna get his wish,” Gaetz <a href="https://twitter.com/jonkarl/status/1708480080844907001?s=20" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1696181890801,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000180-f751-d6b4-a7e5-f7d9bbd30000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1696181890801,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000180-f751-d6b4-a7e5-f7d9bbd30000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://twitter.com/jonkarl/status/1708480080844907001?s=20","_id":"0000018a-ec51-d56c-abfa-ec7da5ad0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"responded this morning","_id":"0000018a-ec51-d56c-abfa-ec7da5ad0000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">responded this morning</a> on ABC’s “This Week.”<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338195646112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>POLITICO Playbook spoke with a number of House Democrats this morning about how they will respond. So let’s unpack the politics of this.</p> <p>Let’s assume Gaetz starts with only a handful of Republicans — perhaps just five, maybe as many as 10 — and that McCarthy has no chance of turning this group around. It’s not much, and that means Gaetz needs Democrats — perhaps as many as 200 — to oust McCarthy. (Ironic considering that his line today was that McCarthy is the Democrats’ speaker.)</p> <p>The biggest pocket of votes for Gaetz right off the bat will be the Democrats in the Congressional Progressive Caucus. They hate Gaetz, but more important, it could be suicide for any of the CPC’s 100-plus members to vote to save McCarthy. (And a motion to table Gaetz’s resolution, while not <i>technically</i> a vote for McCarthy, will easily be spun that way.)</p> <p>Not surprisingly, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/29/congress/gaetz-courts-dems-00119085" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"as POLITICO first reported","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/29/congress/gaetz-courts-dems-00119085","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a180000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a180001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">as POLITICO first reported</a>, CPC Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is one of the first Democrats to whom Gaetz reached out. Right on cue, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who represents a D+28 district in New York, was on CNN this morning saying she would “absolutely” vote to oust McCarthy.</p> <p>Both Gaetz and some Democrats we’ve talked to today believe it is naïve to assume that some discussion of the motion to vacate didn’t come up in the conversations between McCarthy and Dem leaders that birthed the bipartisan CR vote. Since McCarthy knew that the MTV would follow a CR, it would be unusual if he didn’t have some indication from Dems about their views on the vote that will determine his future. One likely response to nudge McCarthy in their direction surely would have been that there would be nothing to discuss if he shut down the government. But for now, the existence of any kind of backchannel discussions is speculation.</p> <p>One senior Democratic lawmaker told us this morning that the instructions from leadership to “all Dems” right now is “keeping powder dry.”</p> <p>While Gaetz might be right that he can get lots of votes from progressives, his only chance after that is if Jeffries himself locks down the caucus in favor of the MTV. But that could take some persuading. For a bloc of moderates — a mix of perhaps 25 to 40 Blue Dogs, Problem Solvers and Democrats in Trump districts — a vote to prove their bipartisan credentials by keeping McCarthy as speaker could be very tempting.</p> <p>All of this is to say that if Gaetz only has 5-10 Republican votes, McCarthy may have an achievable path to victory.</p> <p>But that’s also not Gaetz’s only potential move.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338200004112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>If McCarthy survives with the help of Democratic votes, Gaetz will no doubt relentlessly attack him, as he has already, as “the Democrats’ speaker.” The overall effort will have done a lot of damage. What if Gaetz offers a second MTV, as anyone who knows him realizes he surely would, and McCarthy again has to survive with Democratic help? What happens on the second or third vote? Does Gaetz garner more Republican support? Does McCarthy need to find more Democratic support? There’s no limit to how many times Gaetz could do this. Eventually, this would become untenable for McCarthy.</p> <p>Democrats who take a position on the first MTV will need to consider that they may be locking themselves into a position on a vote that might be repeated.</p> <p>What might a deal with McCarthy look like from Jeffries’ perspective? It is highly unlikely that Jeffries would ever demand all Democrats vote to save McCarthy; several Dem members told Playbook this morning that was impossible to imagine. But what he <i>could</i> do is decline to lock down the caucus and let Democrats vote their conscience (or their district). That could leave moderates with room to help McCarthy. But surely those individual moderates would also want something from McCarthy. Maybe a promise not to spend NRCC money in their races? There are a lot of ideas floating around out there.</p> <p>McCarthy has a card to play if he survives the first (or more) attack from Gaetz: He could try to pass a rule that raises the threshold for a motion to vacate from one member, where it is now, to, say, 10 members. How would he get the votes? Perhaps some of the Democrats who cut a deal to save McCarthy agree to vote for this rule as well. That would finally decapitate Gaetz.</p> <p>Stepping back from the chess game, the big question all Democrats have to answer — and quick — is whether it’s better to have McCarthy as speaker or not.</p> <p>On the pro-keeping-McCarthy side of the ledger is that he’s the devil they know, and there is nobody better waiting in the wings. By avoiding the government shutdown, he also just showed he can be more responsible than some Democrats had believed. It could also take two weeks for another speaker to emerge from the ashes of the chaos, all while the White House and Democrats are trying to push through aid for Ukraine and fund the government over the next 45 or so days. And if you are at the White House and care about all of this, in addition to the fate of the impeachment inquiry, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/pbdd-house-minority-whip-katherine-clark-dems-00117441" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"which Democrats have already raised as an issue in any discussion of helping McCarthy","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/pbdd-house-minority-whip-katherine-clark-dems-00117441","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a180002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a180003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">which Democrats have already raised as an issue in any discussion of helping McCarthy</a>, then McCarthy may be the better bet.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) vows to trigger a conservative-led effort to oust him this week.</p> <p>Some House conservatives predict there are at least a dozen GOP members ready to support a so-called motion to vacate against McCarthy, according to conversations with multiple House Republicans. While one House conservative said they know of at least seven guaranteed votes for the measure, others predicted there are as many as 24 who could ultimately support it.</p> <p>That will push the House into new territory this week — a rare instance in which the minority dictates a course of action in the chamber — as Democrats weigh whether to step in to shield McCarthy. The speaker will need 218 votes to keep his job. Some Republicans and Democrats believe they could round up enough votes to keep him in power — at least in the short term — but it is not a given.</p> <p>“Enough where House Democrats have a choice: adopt Kevin or ditch him,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told POLITICO when asked how many Republicans support his measure. “After this week Kevin McCarthy won’t belong to me anymore.”</p> <p>Unless some major shift occurs among the hardliners in the coming days, Democrats will control McCarthy’s fate. Some Democrats have floated trying to extract concessions from the speaker in exchange for bailing him out. And several progressives have openly discussed banding together with conservative hardliners to vote against McCarthy.</p> <p>“We're not saving the speaker,” Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said Saturday. Her roughly 100-lawmaker group, which has held spirited discussions in the past week on the issue, has proposed a potential power-sharing agreement with Republicans as one offramp from the motion to vacate.</p> <p>Ahead of formally announcing his plans and before the short-term spending vote, Gaetz approached multiple Democrats — mostly progressives, including Jayapal — to gauge how they would respond if he filed a motion to vacate, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/29/congress/gaetz-courts-dems-00119085" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"POLITICO first reported","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/29/congress/gaetz-courts-dems-00119085","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a1e0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a1e0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">POLITICO first reported</a>.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338195646112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Yet, while House Democratic leaders haven't yet ruled out whipping on a motion to vacate, dozens of House Democrats are expected to vote present or abstain as a way of nodding toward McCarthy after he passed the bipartisan short-term spending deal, according to multiple Democrats familiar with the discussions.

Top Democratic leaders released a statement Saturday evening saying they expected McCarthy to hold a vote when the House returned on a Ukraine bill, “consistent with his commitment to making sure that Vladimir Putin, Russia and authoritarianism are defeated.”</p> <p>Ukraine funding had been stripped out of the stopgap funding bill passed Saturday to ensure its passage through both chambers, leaving Ukraine backers to search for another legislative vehicle.</p> <p>Opposition to McCarthy on the right hardened after he pushed through a short-term funding bill without the spending cuts and border restrictions he had vowed to include, and with more Democrats supporting it than Republicans.</p> <p>Freshman Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) told POLITICO he’s a hard yes on getting rid of McCarthy. “I’m still all for it and will be supporting [it],” Crane said.</p> <p>McCarthy, for his part, says he’s ready for the fight.</p> <p>“Bring it on,” McCarthy said on CBS’ Face the Nation in response to Gaetz, calling it “personal.” “If he’s upset because he tried to push us in a shutdown and I made sure government didn’t shut down, then let’s have that fight.”</p> <p>While no motion to vacate has ever been successful — it was last formally invoked more than a century ago, despite being threatened in recent years — some allies of the speaker concede an unsuccessful attempt will hurt him politically moving forward, in part because he may have to make concessions to Democrats to hang on.</p> <p>As one House Freedom Caucus member put it: Democrats are the “biggest part of this equation.”</p> <p>Another House conservative who is likely to support a motion to vacate was bothered watching McCarthy high-fiving and hugging other House Republicans after the stopgap spending bill passed the House on Saturday, “acting like it was a victory.”<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338200004112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>“It was embarrassing for him,” this member said in an interview.</p> <p>Republicans caution that the numbers are fluid. Members have said they’re hearing from GOP base voters pushing them to oust McCarthy, pressure that could affect the vote. Other members indicated they will wait to see how the vote plays out in real time, gauging what their colleagues do on the House floor as the nation watches.</p> <p>It is not uncommon for lawmakers to privately claim they will vote a certain way only to reverse course if their position lacks support, particularly given the threat of retribution.</p> <p>How Democrats handle the vote will depend on which procedural motion GOP leaders use in an initial effort to dispose of the motion to vacate, such as a motion to table.</p> <p>Top Democrats have largely deferred to their leader, Hakeem Jeffries, on how to handle the motion to vacate. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that her advice to other Democrats was to “follow the leader.”</p> <p>Jeffries has sidestepped questions about it. Asked about the motion to vacate after Saturday’s spending bill vote, he demurred: “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.” A Jeffries spokesperson declined to comment, and McCarthy said he has not heard from Jeffries on the matter.</p> <p>McCarthy allies, for their part, believe Gaetz is trying to unseat him because he blames the speaker for the ongoing investigation led by the House Ethics Committee into Gaetz, which was triggered by the Justice Department’s sex trafficking probe into the Florida Republican. The federal probe concluded earlier this year and Gaetz was not charged.

Bruen</i></a>, the GOP-appointed justices said the Constitution only permits the sort of limits on gun ownership that were recognized early in American history.</p> <p>The decision, and its call to rummage through history to judge a modern law’s constitutionality, unleashed a flood of challenges to existing gun-control measures.</p> <p>“There’s basically just chaos in the Second Amendment space and a huge volume of litigation,” said Esther Sanchez-Gomez of the Giffords Law Center, which advocates for gun-safety laws. “This new test has created a mess.”</p> <p>In March, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals embraced the <i>Bruen</i> rationale to strike down a federal law prohibiting the subjects of domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms, with the appeals judges concluding that the law isn’t rooted in “our Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”</p> <p>The Biden administration asked the justices to overturn that decision, arguing that it opens the door to all sorts of dangerous people obtaining weapons. Many analysts expect that some of the conservative justices, especially Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, will worry about the optics of a ruling that would put guns in the hands of domestic abusers. Those concerns might entice a majority of the court to figure out a way to uphold the statute, although how the justices would square such a ruling with <i>Bruen</i> isn’t clear.</p> <p>The case, <i>United States v. Rahimi</i>, will be argued Nov. 7.</p> <h3 style="text-align: left">Another crack at agency power</h3> <p>For decades, the business community, conservative activists and a few conservative justices have been trying to eliminate a legal doctrine that they contend gives government agencies — sometimes derisively called “the administrative state” — too much power. The doctrine, known as <i>Chevron</i> deference after a 1984 Supreme Court case that first articulated it, gives agencies wide latitude to interpret the statutes they enforce — even if judges disagree with an agency’s reading of the law.</p> <p>As the conservative contingent on the court has grown, the doctrine has been walked to the legal gallows several times — but each time, the court has stopped short of formally killing it off. The noose is tightening once again this term in a case challenging a decision by federal officials to make fishing boat operators pay for monitors who confirm compliance with fishing limits. The facts of the case are arcane, but the legal question is whether the justices should officially overturn <i>Chevron</i>.</p> <p>If that happens, federal regulations aimed at the environment, prescription drugs, food safety, auto safety, banking, the financial markets and more could be in jeopardy. An end to <i>Chevron</i> would trigger a tsunami of legal challenges in search of judges who might disagree with agencies’ longstanding interpretations of their own powers, striking down policies that have been on the books for decades. And Congress might face pressure to shore up some agencies’ regulatory powers.</p> <p>The case, <i>Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo</i>, has not yet been scheduled for oral argument. The court could hear it as early as December.</p> <h3 style="text-align: left">CFPB funding fight could cripple other regulators</h3> <p>On Tuesday, the second day of the new term, the court will hear a constitutional challenge to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The outcome of the nonjury trial will be entirely up to Engoron, who will make his decision on the heels of a series of fierce disputes with Trump.</p> <p>And in a surprise, Trump <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/29/trump-attend-business-fraud-trial-00119198" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"may attend the trial in person","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/29/trump-attend-business-fraud-trial-00119198","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a390003","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a390004","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">may attend the trial in person</a> — a plan revealed by lawyers late last week.

Engoron found Trump liable for widespread fraud and revoked the licenses for some of his flagship properties, including Trump Tower and the Trump International Hotel. The ruling paves the way for much of the trial to focus on the punishments Trump will now face. They could be severe: Attorney General Tish James is asking for $250 million and a ban on Trump running businesses in the state.</p> <p>Trump and his lawyers — and even the attorney general’s office — were caught off guard by the sweep of Engoron’s pretrial ruling, and they have scrambled in recent days to determine what, exactly, it means for the future of Trump’s business.</p> <p>In turn, Trump called the judge “unhinged” and a “political hack” who “must be stopped.”</p> <p>“I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.</p> <p>Trump had spent months trying to thwart Engoron, most recently taking the aggressive step of filing a lawsuit that accuses the judge of failing to comply with an earlier appeals court decision that Trump argues limits the scope of the case against him. That matter is pending.</p> <p>Trump also repeatedly tried to delay the trial by asking an appeals court to push it back after he failed to convince Engoron to do so.</p> <p>Engoron’s response to Trump’s request was typically curt. “Decline to sign,” he wrote. “Defendants’ arguments are completely without merit.”</p> <p>On Thursday, the appeals court <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/28/trump-new-york-fraud-trial-delay-00118917" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"also declined to delay the trial","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/28/trump-new-york-fraud-trial-delay-00118917","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a390008","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a390009","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">also declined to delay the trial</a>.</p> <p>Trump’s tussles with Engoron began even before James filed her lawsuit. During the attorney general’s investigation, Engoron held Trump in contempt of court and ordered him to pay $10,000 a day after finding the former president had failed to comply with a subpoena from James’ office. The judge subsequently released Trump from the contempt order and required him to pay a total of $110,000 in penalties.</p> <p>In his ruling last week, Engoron answered perhaps the key question raised by James’ lawsuit: He found that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth between 2014 and 2021. (Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing, has vowed to appeal the ruling.) The trial beginning Monday will address what Trump, his businesses, his adult sons and his business associates did with that false information. According to James, they used it to obtain favorable terms from banks and insurance companies, resulting in insurance fraud, and to gain tax benefits.</p> <p>The trial will also determine what financial penalties, if any, Trump must pay. James is seeking $250 million in penalties and a lifetime bar on the Trumps from serving as officers or directors in any New York companies, as well as a five-year bar on Trump or his company from entering into any real estate acquisitions.</p> <p>For Trump, Monday marks not only the start of the trial over the civil fraud lawsuit but also the beginning of a long string of trials he will face from October through May.

In this round, the emerging question is whether public school children have a right to choose names and pronouns affirming their gender identity, or whether parents’ right to manage the upbringing of their children overrides it.</p> <p><a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/public-schools-pronoun-protocol-tests-bounds-of-parental-rights" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"Three separate federal appeals courts","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/public-schools-pronoun-protocol-tests-bounds-of-parental-rights","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">Three separate federal appeals courts</a> have already confronted the issue, which has left school administrators across the country having to pick between the wishes and needs of students on one hand, and the demands of parents that they be alerted to their children’s gender and pronoun preferences at school on the other.</p> <p>The legal issues in these cases are not easy ones, pitting children’s rights against their parents’ rights. Upset parents contend that by using a child’s preferred pronouns without their knowledge, government actors are illegally providing medical care without the parental consent that state law mandates. Weighing against the parents are their kids’ requests as well as state laws requiring that schools provide non-discriminatory environments in which students can safely express their gender identities. According to the Human Rights Campaign, <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/state-maps" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"22 states","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.hrc.org/resources/state-maps","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">22 states</a> and the District of Columbia <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/state-maps" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"have laws","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.hrc.org/resources/state-maps","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">have laws</a> protecting students from harassment based on gender identity.</p> <p>The outcome, while centering around school administration rather than the civil rights of transgender Americans, is likely nonetheless to have far-reaching impacts. Not only does it invite the unelected justices to take sides in the clash between conservatives and progressives over what should be tolerated and taught in public schools, but it could wind up sending a powerful signal about the extent to which the court will permit discrimination on the basis of non-conforming gender identity under the Constitution itself.</p> <br> <p><br><b>The latest dispute to</b> reach a federal appeals court arose when parents Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri <a href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/FooteetalvLudlowSchoolCommitteeetalDocketNo322cv30041DMassApr1220?doc_id=X3T38OEAVQ98HVAGVI971HP48HS" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"sued a range of government entities","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/FooteetalvLudlowSchoolCommitteeetalDocketNo322cv30041DMassApr1220?doc_id=X3T38OEAVQ98HVAGVI971HP48HS","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410006","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a410007","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">sued a range of government entities</a> and officials affiliated with the Ludlow, Massachusetts public schools. The lawsuit alleges that during the 2020-2021 school year, their child approached a teacher about feelings of depression, low self-esteem and possible attraction to the same gender. The teacher spoke with the child’s mother, who responded that she was getting the child professional help and asked school staff not to have private conversations with the child. The child, who was 11 at the time, then sent an email to school personnel self-identifying as genderqueer and announcing a new name and list of preferred pronouns. The school counselor responded with an email to staff stating that, consistent with a policy sanctioned by the Ludlow School Committee, they should not use the new preferred name and pronouns when communicating with the parents. Around the same time, the child’s sibling, who was then 12 years old, also began using a different name. The school did not tell the parents.</p> <p>After the parents learned of the situation, they complained to the school “about negative consequences their children might experience as a result of being able to use names and pronouns associated with the opposite sex.” They also objected to the staff’s disregard of their instructions. The school superintendent publicly defended the school’s actions and asserted “that for some students who are transgender or gender nonconforming, school is the only safe place to express who they are.”</p> <p>The parents sued, alleging that the defendants violated three different rights derived from the 14th Amendment: (1) their fundamental parental rights to direct the education and upbringing of their children, (2) their fundamental right to direct medical and mental health decision-making for their children, and (3) their fundamental right to “familial privacy” and “family integrity.”</p> <p><br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/1e/66/e96f08a341fb9bb8a983cfb76743/gettyimages-1385207826.jpg"> <br> <p>None of these rights are expressly identified in the Constitution. All of them stem from the same aspect of the 14th Amendment that produced the original decision in <i>Roe v. Wade</i> — “substantive” due process. The Supreme Court, of course, has now overturned that decision, leaving open the question of which constitutional rights stemming from the 14<sup>th</sup> Amendment will now prevail and which won’t.</p> <p>In the <i>Foote </i>case, U.S. District Judge Mark G. Mastroianni dismissed the lawsuit and ruled in favor of the school. He wrote that, on the question of the parents’ rights to direct their children’s medical care, the parents “have not alleged either child has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria” or “explained how referring to a person by their preferred name and pronouns, which requires no special training or skill, has clinical significance.” The judge added that “addressing a person using their preferred name and pronouns simply accords the person the basic level of respect expected in a civil society generally."</p> <p>Regarding the claims of interference with the parents’ rights to direct their children’s upbringing and education, the judge held that the parents failed “to identify ... specific allegations of conscience-shocking conduct supporting their claims.” Although it is “disconcerting that school administrators ... adopted and implemented a policy requiring school staff to actively hide information from parents about something of importance regarding their child,” the law requires “a ‘stunning’ level of arbitrariness” to rise to a constitutional violation.</p> <p>That dismissal order is now on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit. The 4th Circuit separately tossed out a similar case. Another remains pending in the 11th Circuit.

Nebraska </i>that the word “liberty” in the 14th Amendment’s iconic phrase, “life, liberty, or property,” has substantive connotations, “denot[ing] not merely freedom from bodily restraint, but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in any of the common occupations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.” Despite being heavily scorned by the conservative right, therefore, the concept of “substantive due process” goes far deeper than abortion care in protecting foundational liberties that most Americans take for granted — including the right to parent without second-guessing by the government.</p> <p>In 2000, in a case called <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/530/57/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<i>Troxel v.

Granville</i></a>, the Supreme Court in a splintered ruling affirmed parents’ fundamental right under the 14th Amendment to oversee the care, custody and control of a child. That case involved an unmarried couple’s two children, whose dad died. After the mother remarried, the father’s parents sued under state law for the right to visit their grandchildren. The Supreme Court ruled against the grandparents, finding it reasonable to assume that the mother would act in the best interests of her children. Absent a threshold showing of harm or potential harm to the children, it reasoned, the state of Washington could not interfere with the mother’s role by granting rights to a third party.</p> <p>Whether the court’s right-leaning majority would strike down constitutional protections for parental prerogatives on grounds similar to those that decided <i>Roe</i>’s fate — e.g., that the text of the Constitution is silent when it comes to parents’ rights — is tricky to predict.

In one sepia-tone picture, my great-great-uncle Jack, his gun holstered on the outside of his suit jacket, shakes hands with an Indigenous man wearing a war bonnet and holding a beaded bag and pipe. My relatives always identified this man — inaccurately it would turn out — as Chief Red Cloud. That we were related to someone who knew a famous chief was a source of pride, but not of curiosity. Though my ancestors lived near several reservations, I heard no handed-down stories about the Lakota and our relatives.</p> <p>Instead, my family passed on stories that telegraphed tenacity and toughness. My great-great grandparents, Faige Etke and Harry Sinykin, joined a wave of Jews fleeing antisemitism and oppression in Russia at the turn of the 20th century. Like many other immigrants at the time, they received free land from the U.S. government after arriving in America: a 160-acre homestead that was theirs to keep if they could tame the wild prairie into farmland. So many Jewish immigrants settled in this one slice of the South Dakota prairie that some locals still call the area “Jew Flats.” Life on the prairie was hard and strange. They chopped holes in frozen creeks to take mikvahs, burned dried buffalo dung for warmth during the cruel winters and dodged rattlesnakes on the path to the outhouse. I grew up marveling at these stories, hoping that they meant something about me, that I too might have grit.</p> <p>It took me a long time to realize that there was white space at the margins of these narratives. Because while the stories we tell create the myths we pass down to future generations, so do the stories we don’t<i> </i>tell — such as the silence surrounding photographs like the one of my great-great uncle and the Lakota man.</p> <p>I have spent almost my entire adult life reporting on the American West, attempting to write articles that expand our fixed ideas about the region. Yet, when it came to my own ancestors’ history on the South Dakota prairie, I maintained a blind spot. Only after years of reporting in Indigenous communities did it dawn on me that my family, that I myself, had benefitted from centuries of federal mistreatment of Indigenous people in the United States.</p> <p>Finally curious about what had happened a century ago on the South Dakota prairie, in 2018 I began research for what would eventually become my book, <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647961/the-cost-of-free-land-by-rebecca-clarren/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<i>The Cost of Free Land: Jews, Lakota and An American Inheritance</i>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647961/the-cost-of-free-land-by-rebecca-clarren/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a4b0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a4b0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><i>The Cost of Free Land: Jews, Lakota and An American Inheritance</i></a>. On visits to both Jew Flats and nearby Lakota reservations, I carried those mysterious photographs with me. What I would learn over the coming years would change the way I understood my family, America and my place in this country.<br></p> <br> <p>How to atone for historic wrongs — both as a nation and as individuals — has become a pivotal topic of debate in American politics. We don’t agree about reparations policies. We don’t agree about affirmative action. We don’t even agree about teaching the truth of our nation’s history in schools. As a journalist, my job has been to expose issues, to bring them into the cold light of day — not to provide solutions. But I would find repeatedly while working on <i>The Cost of Free Land</i> that my family’s personal narrative was inextricable from America’s collective history. How to move forward in a way that included the past was no longer a question I could ignore.<br></p> <br> <p><b>The rolling hills and grass</b> sea of Jew Flats was “a place like the End of the World,” my great-great-aunt Rose, who grew up there, wrote years later. “Twenty-five miles from a railroad station, seven miles from a post office, three and a half miles from any neighbors.” Here, 13 miles from the southeast corner of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation, around 30 Jewish families homesteaded some 7,000 non-contiguous acres within a span of 44 square miles on former Lakota land. (By this point, the United States had taken approximately 98 percent of the land reserved for the Lakota by a treaty in 1851 and given it to white settlers and railroad companies.)</p> <p>By 1912, four years after my ancestors sowed their first crop, there were an estimated 25,000 Jewish farmers in 46 states. More than 70 Jewish farm communities, composed of anywhere from a few dozen to 2,500 people, had been established in the United States — many in the West, many on formerly Native American lands. In the Dakotas, an estimated 1,000 Jews were homesteaders like the Sinykins. (Keep in mind, they represented a sliver of Dakota settlers, estimated at less than 0.5 percent.) Though their lives were certainly freer than those of Jews under constant threat in Eastern Europe, by no means were their lives easy.</p> <p>That first winter that my ancestors arrived, they lived in a house made of dirt, its walls the cut bank of a hill, with roots and grass jutting from the roof. When it rained, it rained through a hole in the roof made for the stove pipe, and the floor liquified to mud. These sod houses were dark and smelled, I can only imagine, like bong water. A hole in the ground under a board on the floor served as both a “refrigerator” and a place to hide from the not-infrequent tornados. A cave in the back housed their animals. The temperature could swing 50 degrees in one day. At night, it was so cold that they could lie in bed, dressed in layers of clothing, and watch their breath freeze on their blankets.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/0a/56/e43bfab549a18ec09cbc2acb5778/cost-of-free-land-book-jacket.jpg"> <br> <p>The Sinykin’s 160 acres were free, but only if they could, under the rules of the Homestead Act, “improve” upon them by building a house and planting at least 10 acres within three years. My ancestors planted corn and wheat, but soon enough realized what the Lakota had known for years — that farming in this dry, unirrigated place was nearly impossible, especially during periods of drought. During several seasons in their early years on the prairie, it didn’t rain for an entire year; the best crops were prairie dogs, rattlesnakes and Russian thistle. One farmer in the country remembered that it was “so dry you couldn’t see a spear of grass.” The Sinykins lost their entire crop two years in a row.</p> <p>Even though their lives were hard, the dominant family narrative is that “they loved it. They always called it ‘the Good Earth,’” says my great-aunt Etta Orkin, our 90-year-old family matriarch. “Their lives were so much narrower in Russia, and I think they were so happy to be free to be able to go and come and do. Owning [land] made them feel they were a part of America, that they lived in a free country.”</p> <p>But in fact, that freedom came at great cost to my family’s Lakota neighbors.<br></p> <br> <p><b>In the aftermath of the </b>Civil War, the United States was bent on seeding the northern plains with white people who would support, just by being there, a transcontinental railroad linking the new state of California, and its abundant natural resources, to the rest of the country. Standing in the way of this vision were millions of buffalo and tens of thousands of Native Americans whose leaders had signed legal agreements with Congress reserving Indigenous rights to the land. So, promises made became promises broken.</p> <p>By 1908, when my family was planting their first crop on their South Dakota homestead, the United States had diminished Lakota lands by 98 percent in less than 60 years. In an effort to further diminish Native property, Congress had enacted policies of cultural genocide, aiming to assimilate Native people to the point that their economy, culture and religion were no longer tied to land.</p> <p>What I didn’t know growing up was that the stories about my ancestors on the prairie failed to acknowledge the systematic benefits the federal government extended to us because we weren’t Indigenous but white — at least, white enough. Not only were harms imposed upon those living on reservations, freedoms were extended to those outside the reservations, creating inequity in two directions.</p> <p>Unlike their Lakota neighbors, who were at risk of being jailed for practicing their ceremonies and religion, the Jews of Jew Flats were free to worship how they liked. Unlike their Lakota neighbors, whose children were regularly taken from their communities for nine months at a stretch to be assimilated at federal schools, the Sinykins were free to educate their children however they wanted. Unlike the Lakota, whom the Indian Agents tried to keep from farming or ranching in family groups with the intention of breaking apart traditional communal culture, the Sinykins and their cousins and friends survived by collective effort, unbothered by government interference. Unlike the Lakota, whose marriages and divorces were regulated by federal representatives, the Jews of Jew Flats could marry whomever they wanted. Unlike the Lakota, who were denied citizenship, which prevented them from voting and accessing a slew of rights, immigrant citizens (at least the men) could vote even when they couldn’t speak or read English. And unlike most Lakota, who couldn’t get a bank account or handle their own money, let alone leave the reservation to pursue jobs elsewhere, the Jews of Jew Flats could and did leverage the worth of their land for a mortgage or bank loan.</p> <p>To look at only one piece of this history is to ignore the depths of this unfairness.<br></p> <br> <p><b>On a summer day </b>in 2019, I knocked on a low-slung house on the Standing Rock Reservation, holding that photo of my Uncle Jack shaking hands with that man wearing Lakota regalia. Earlier visits to the Dakotas and interviews with Native historians had led me to believe that the man in the picture was Joseph White Bull, the nephew of Sitting Bull and a chief of the Mnicoujou Lakota. Now, the picture had led me to Doug White Bull, an elder who described himself as “my Grandpa Joe’s oldest living descendant.”</p> <p>Doug had never seen such a picture before. Neither had any of his nieces, nephews or kids whom I interviewed. I searched for years to figure out why these two men might have taken this picture, visiting museums of all sizes, searching archives and speaking with elders and tribal historians. I heard many theories, including one that this wasn’t even Joseph White Bull, but I never solved the mystery.</p> <p>When I started this project, I thought that, by understanding this picture, I could collapse the line between the past and today. I thought I might learn that it was Joseph’s ancestors who dropped the arrowheads my cousins found on Jew Flats. This longing, more than anything else, reveals my old ideas about land ownership, about the colonialism that has shaped me. Now I understand that photographs don’t tell stories. Photographs lead us to stories. Not having solved the mystery of this picture doesn’t matter as much to me anymore. The fact that their lives intersected at all has led me to know Doug White Bull and his relatives, whose insights and stories have changed the way I understand both American history and my own. When I look at this picture now, I see the world beyond the frame. I see the forces pushing both men to assimilate and pulling them apart. I see the thread linking both of their lives to mine.</p> <p>As my research revealed all the myriad ways that my family benefited from policies that harmed Native Americans, I kept returning to the question of how much my ancestors knew about what was happening to their neighbors on the nearby reservations. Were the Sinykins aware of the persecution being done in this land of the free?</p> <p>By 1908, the United States decided to allow white settlers to move onto Lakota reservations, further diminishing Native land. Newspapers published throughout western South Dakota between 1908 and 1911, the exact period during which my family was settling on the prairie, reported that Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Lakota didn’t want their reservations opened to non-Native settlement, and that they had signed treaties protecting these lands as their property. Despite this awareness, white ranchers urged public officials to open the reservations to them, justifying themselves in a way that exposed the racism at the heart of life on the plains.</p> <p>“The opening of the Sioux Indian lands is developing them from that of the homes of indolent dependents of the government to the farm residences of thrifty Americans,” ran a 1908 article about the opening of the Rosebud Reservation to white settlement. “The Indians who have been content to live lazily on the fertile soil and draw their liberal allowances will soon see more of their lands converted to useful purposes.”</p> <p>As far as I can tell, my family never bought any of these lands, and they weren’t among those making incessant requests to open additional land to white settlement. But that doesn’t mean they were ignorant of what was happening.</p> <p>“Everyone knew what was happening to Indians,” says Judge Abby Abinanti, a Yurok elder and chief judge whose courtroom has become a national model for criminal justice reform, winning her widespread esteem including a lifetime achievement award from the Federal Bar Association. Abinanti’s approach, which infuses jurisprudence with traditional culture and values, leans heavily on compassion. Because of both the bigoted messages my ancestors learned in America as well as the brutality they had experienced in Russia, which we now call trauma, Abinanti is quick to offer them empathy.</p> <p>“What do you expect of people who survived genocidal attacks but to survive, for God’s sake? When someone is fleeing for their life, if you’re on a dead run, you’re not stopping to have a restorative-justice conversation or question why you’re being helped.”</p> <p>It’s now the job, she gently reminds me, of my generation, those of us who have grown up free of such upheaval, to do the work of considering the harms of this entangled history. According to Abinanti, justice works best when grounded in one’s own culture. She suggested that I study Jewish teachings about repair and healing for guidance about how to move forward. Fortunately, I didn’t have to do this alone.</p> <p>Over the course of the following three years, I met regularly with my rabbi, Benjamin Barnett, to study ancient Jewish texts and the writings of contemporary rabbis for direction on how to repair after a harm has been committed, even and especially one that you didn’t commit directly but that you benefit from. I would begin to realize that truth-telling is critical to a repentance process, but its only one step of many needed to truly repair.</p> <p>After many years of conversations with both Lakota elders such as Doug White Bull and Jewish leaders, I came to realize that simply telling the truth about the past, working to debunk long-held American myths as I do in <i>The Cost of Free Land</i>, was important, but not enough. Guided by Doug and others, I and my family have created a fund with the Indian Land Tenure Foundation, a Native-led non-profit, that has been working for years to <a href="https://iltf.org/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"help Native Nations buy back their stolen lands","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://iltf.org/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a4b0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a4b0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">help Native Nations buy back their stolen lands</a>. (We sold the last piece of our family ranch on Jew Flats to other white ranchers in 1970.) Reparation economics is a developing field, and by no means is my family’s effort a definitive solution. It is just one of many happening throughout the country that aim to reconcile the benefits the United States has extended to those of us who are non-Indigenous at great cost and harm to Native people.</p> <p>These efforts are complicated by the fact that we in America have a vacuum of federal leadership around how to consider the ways public policy and law have hurt Native Nations. However, if enough citizens lead by example, it’s possible Congress could be spurred to act. This happened in Australia in the late 1990s, when activists there created “Sorry Books” — available in public spaces such as libraries, churches and schools — that provided settler descendants the opportunity to apologize to the Indigenous people of Australia when their government refused to do so.

Because no matter when your family arrived in this country, all of us who aren’t Indigenous benefit from the fact that our country was built on the unfair taking and sometimes outright theft of Native lands. Broken treaties cleared the way for the foundation of our highway systems, our cities and our industrial agriculture. The sale and leasing of former Native lands funded public universities that have offered low-cost tuition to millions of Americans. Many of us have access to cheap power from hydroelectric dams that flooded Indigenous lands. Throughout its history, up to this moment, the United States has made choices to benefit settlers and their descendants at the detriment of Native Americans. This is our inheritance. What we do about it now is the question.<br></p> <br> <br>]]>

As a U.S. House member representing South Carolina between 2011 and 2017, Mulvaney earned a reputation as the leader of a group of hardline conservatives who were unafraid to use the threat of a shutdown to advance their spending priorities. In 2013, Mulvaney and his fellow fiscal conservatives achieved just that, forcing the federal government into a 16-day shutdown as part of an unsuccessful effort to block funding for Barack Obama’s signature health care bill.</p> <p>But in 2018, after Trump and Congress failed to come to an agreement on funding a wall along the Southern border, Mulvaney found himself on the other side of the shutdown fight: Not just calling for a shutdown, but actually executing one.</p> <p>“[It] was a unique experience, especially for someone who had been through shutdowns when I was in Congress,” Mulvaney told me when I spoke with him over the phone this week. “I wondered how many people would laugh, cry, wail, scream, do whatever when they found out that I was the one to shut the government down.”</p> <p>Mulvaney was joined on our call by two of his top aides from OMB — Emma Doyle, the agency’s former chief of staff, and Michael Williams, an assistant deputy legal counsel — who explained that the politics of implementing a shutdown are just as complex as the politics that lead to one.</p> <p>“It’s a very political decision,” said Doyle of the choice of which parts of the federal government to close and which to keep open. “There’s a lot of discretion.”<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/1c/9e/c7779bb141ecbcee4444a7c618cf/gettyimages-183950136.jpg"> <br> <p>Yet even after having seen how the sausage gets made, Mulvaney said he’s just as bullish as ever on the importance of shutdowns.</p> <p>“It’s not ideal, [but] it’s not the end of the world.”</p> <p><i>The following has been edited for clarity and concision. </i></p> <p><b>Ian Ward:</b> Take me back to December 21, 2018 — the day before the shutdown set in. What was going through your mind at that point?</p> <p><b>Mick Mulvaney:</b> Well, keep in mind that I was also sort of the Chief of Staff at the same time, so it was an interesting time. Even though I didn’t officially start at the White House until January 4, John Kelly had not been coming to work for several months, and I had already set up shop in his office down in the West Wing — which made sense if you stopped to think about it, because OMB Director runs a shutdown.</p> <p>But one of the vivid memories I have is I Emma coming in to tell me that it’s actually the OMB director who signs the document that shuts the government down — which was a unique experience, especially for someone who had been through shutdowns when I was in Congress. I wondered how many people would laugh, cry, wail, scream, do whatever when they found out that I was the one to shut the government down.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> What were you feeling in that moment? Excitement? Dread?<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/d5/07/ca040e6c48c78bf9b2580196d14c/gettyimages-1074598602.jpg"> <br> <p><b>Mulvaney: </b>No — we had done a lot of research.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> What sort of process had you gone through in advance to make sure that your ducks were all in a row come the December 21 deadline?</p> <p><b>Michael Williams: </b>Keep in mind that this was the second shutdown we went through. We’d gone through an initial one in early January of that year — which was the crazier one from a process point of view. During that one, we had just been scrambling, because the previous one had been several years earlier in a completely different administration with completely different goals for a shutdown, whereas we were trying to figure out how much we could keep open and how we could keep the public [operations] as normal as possible throughout the ordeal.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>How much discretion does OMB have when it comes to keeping things open versus shutting things down? And what are the politics around that?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> That’s the real story here. The discretion is considerable. The statutes said that we have discretion as to “the protection of property.” But what is that? You can “except” people from a shutdown [the technical term for allowing them to work] based on “health and safety.” But there’s a lot of latitude there.</p> <p>The thing I remember is that we were really focused on the national monuments. I remembered from the 2013 shutdown that Obama’s team had not only shut down the monuments but put up a fence around the monuments with signs on it saying “Closed because of the government shutdown.” If you want to have a fun time, go <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/deciphering-essential-nonessential-federal-employees-government-shutdown-097764" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>Google that sign</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/deciphering-essential-nonessential-federal-employees-government-shutdown-097764","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a500000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a500001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>Google that sign</u></a>. It looks like a Trump tweet — every third word is capitalized for no reason. It’s hysterical.</p> <p><b>Emma Doyle: </b>They exempted employees to do that. They brought seven people to erect a [fence] around the World War Two Memorial to make the point that the shutdown was impacting people who were visiting D.C., who otherwise wouldn’t have been impacted. It’s a very political decision, and there’s a lot of discretion. There’s really no health and safety reason to say people can’t continue to explore an open-air, unfenced memorial that doesn’t normally have guides.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> In 2018, was the imperative to keep as many things open as possible? And who was that imperative coming down from?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney: </b>Me.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>What were the calculations behind that?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> They’re not calculations. It’s just the politics. When I was in Congress, I didn’t know that the Office of Management Budget had discretion regarding what stayed open and what was excepted. In fact, I didn’t even know the term “lapse in appropriations,” which is what it is. So we had learned a lot about a shutdown, and the more we learned, the more we learned how the Obama administration had really turned the screws in order to raise the political cost — to make things look as bad as they can. Not to say that’s illegal, but we figured out, <i>Okay, if Obama could turn the dial one way, we could turn the dial the other way. </i>We wanted to try and minimize the impact so that we could focus attention on the issue at hand, which was border security.</p> <p><b>Doyle: </b>I worked for Mick in 2013 in the House when we had that 16-day shutdown, and I think for a lot of us who were there for that, without knowing exactly how much discretion OMB had, it felt like there was discretion — but it was hard to figure out where it was coming from. I don't think any of us thought “<i>Oh, if we’re ever in that position, we’ll look for it</i>.” But when we did get into that position, we thought “<i>Now’s a good time to go and figure out what exactly has to close and what can stay open</i>.”</p> <p><b>Williams:</b> In my experience, career employees at OMB more or less want to keep the political folks on a narrow path, but you can shift that dial to the left or to the right a little bit. Obviously, Obama shifted it pretty far over to the left, and we wanted to shift it a little bit over to the right. So it is lot of discretion in moving that dial one way or the other — not complete discretion, but still a ton, because the exceptions are so vague and subject to interpretation.<br></p> <br> <p><b>Ward:</b> So Mick, after the OMB director signs that sheet of paper officially shutting the government, what role does OMB play in managing a shutdown?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney: </b>Well, you’d already be prepared for it, right? It’s not like a shutdown is a surprise — with the exception of that outlier [in 2013]. We send out notices in advance — by the way, I understand that those notices have already gone out from the OMB office now — and then the lapse hits, and you’ve already done the foundational work. You’ve laid the foundation with the various agencies, and they’ve started the process of identifying who’s going to be exempted and who gets furloughed. And then you implement that plan as soon as the date passes — so in this case, probably one minute after midnight on December 22.</p> <p><b>Doyle:</b> I think that’s something people don’t understand. It’s not like dropping a gate and sealing something off. It’s more like applying pressure to the brakes of a car and slowing it down. It’s really two weeks’ worth of work ahead of time, when you expect to maybe see a lapse in appropriations. It’s actually just as much work within OMB whether or not you get an 11th-hour deal done, because you can’t put aside that work and hope that Congress gets over the line. There’s a team within OMB called the BRD — the Budget Review Division — and they’re the ones that oversee that process. So those folks have been working flat out for the last couple of weeks, getting those plans in place, talking to agencies, and answering questions like “What if I have staff overseas?” “Do I bring people back?” “Do we buy their return ticket now?”</p> <p><b>Williams:</b> The people on the BRD team almost have their own language that they're speaking to their counterparts at the agencies. They’ll start a government-wide call about a week or so out from the deadline where the BRD folks will tell their counterparts either, “<i>We anticipate a shutdown</i>,” or “<i>We don’t anticipate a shutdown</i>,” depending on what they think. But in any case, they say, “<i>Prudent planning requires us to be blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,</i>” and then they go into the spiel. It’s sort of a tell-it-straight sort of call to the agencies — like “<i>Hey, this thing is probably going to happen</i>,” or not.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>What’s the mood like in OMB during that two-week window you’re describing?</p> <p><b>Doyle:</b> We bought a lot of pizza. A lot of pizza.</p> <p>But it’s challenging, because on the one hand you’re managing it for the government, but on the other hand, you’re all about to go through it on a personal level as well. You’re all federal employees. Psychologically, I think, it’s gotten better since 2013. In 2013, there was a real sense that we might not all get paid back. That shifted [in 2019, when Congress <a href="https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12251#:~:text=The%20Government%20Employee%20Fair%20Treatment,end%20of%20a%20government%20shutdown.&text=This%20statutorily%20guaranteed%20retroactive%20pay,to%20work%20during%20a%20shutdown." target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>passed a law</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12251#:~:text=The%20Government%20Employee%20Fair%20Treatment,end%20of%20a%20government%20shutdown.&text=This%20statutorily%20guaranteed%20retroactive%20pay,to%20work%20during%20a%20shutdown.","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a510000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a510001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>passed a law</u></a> guaranteeing back-pay to all federal employees]. I think that helps a little bit, but it’s still a loss. It’s still an indefinite loss of getting your paycheck. <br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/ae/37/c1293fb44e54ae8c6b0df29da171/gettyimages-1090635968.jpg"> <br> <p>It’s not popular to say this on the right, but people are in these jobs because they care about doing their job and they want to do their job. Some people were happy to have a couple of days off, but you don't want 35 days off. So it’s tough to rally [people] psychologically to go, “<i>Okay, we're going to go through this ourselves, and we’re also laying this out for you.</i>”</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> How much of OMB stays on during a shutdown?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> I think we furloughed some comms people.</p> <p><b>Williams:</b> All the lawyers stayed on, but that is another weird overlay of it, because there’s this ego factor as well. Even though they’ve switched to that “excepted” and “not excepted” language, where it used to be “essential” and “non-essential.” If you’re going home, it’s kind of like being put on the sidelines in the Super Bowl. It’s not really the Super Bowl, but it’s a ton of work, and all of a sudden, you’re doing it without all of your coworkers.</p> <p><b>Doyle:</b> I think a lot there is a sense that if you know people are working late nights, you want to be there to help out.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> So Mick, when you were in Congress, you were part of the ‘Shutdown Caucus’…</p> <p><b>Mulvaney: </b>Was that the official name? I don’t remember that one.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> I’m doing air quotes. But in any event, you weren’t afraid of pushing the government into a shutdown in 2013. Did being on the other side of one change your perspective at all? <br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/6a/cf/90a50acd4364a12abfa131ebf60a/gettyimages-1087133622.jpg"> <br> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> No — in fact, it reaffirmed it. Once I got to OMB and realized how political the Obama administration had made it, that just reaffirmed my position that it can be done so that it’s not that big a deal. Is it a big deal? Yes. But it is not the end of the world, and it’s certainly not a shutdown.</p> <p>I was struck by the misinformation that the press would put out. ‘<i>Oh, Social Security payments are going to be delayed</i>.” No, they’re not. So I welcomed the opportunity to show people that while a shutdown was important, and it’s not ideal, it is not the end of the world.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>Are they productive, though? There’s been some bipartisan chatter on the Hill about <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/bipartisan-group-stop-government-shutdowns-00117679" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>legislating them out of existence</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/bipartisan-group-stop-government-shutdowns-00117679","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a510002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a510003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>legislating them out of existence</u></a>. Could you get behind that?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> The same people who make that argument want to get rid of the debt ceiling as well. The only time we really talk about spending in this country is when we’ve got funding bills to approve, and we’ve got a debt ceiling to raise. That’s it.

In 2013, Republicans wanted to defund Obamacare, and that ended up getting funded. In 2018, it was about funding the border wall, and that ultimately wasn’t funded. This time, the Republican demands are more diffused — it’s border security, or it’s Ukraine funding, or it’s impeachment stuff. What does a real win for Republicans look like on the other side of this?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney:</b> Anything between what the Senate has offered and the compromise that the House Freedom Caucus and the Main Street Alliance came up with is a win. Anything between those two things is a win. The conservatives are not going to get their 8 percent reduction with border security, but neither should the Senate expect to get everything it wants in a spending deal. Anything between those two things should be considered a win for fiscal conservatives — who, believe it or not, are probably in the minority of the Republican Party.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> What’s the one thing that you wish the public knew about a shutdown?</p> <p><b>Mulvaney: </b>The impact of a shutdown is impacted in large part by the political decision-making of the current administration.<br></p> <br> <br>]]>

He had voted twice for former President Donald Trump. Now he had a question for Nikki Haley.</p> <p>“I feel like we’re in a civil war,” said Ted Johnson, 58, of nearby Bedford. “How would you have a plan to pull us all back together?”</p> <p>“It is doable,” Haley began. She had on blue jeans and a pair of chunky-heeled, cow-print boots. She looked at Johnson. “I can give you a lot of words, but I like giving examples, because it shows you how I lead …”</p> <p>She then talked for nearly 10 minutes straight, the answer a crystallization of her predilection for planting herself smack in the center of some of the most divisive issues in modern American history. The kind of extended-cut monologue that has made allies and enemies alike marvel for years at her political dexterity while they simultaneously question her basic authenticity, it was an answer only Haley would have or even could have given.</p> <p>Because she is, after all, unique among the Republicans running right now for president. The only one who is a woman. The only one who is the wife of an Army National Guardsman who is currently deployed. The only one who is a 51-year-old mother of two twentysomething children. The only one who is the daughter of Indian immigrants.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/bd/ae/ca58a6ee4f33a26f53eea8c31bb6/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary1.jpg"> <br> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/1d/8e/b29b7fbc408b897d4dfb2d0ec414/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary2.jpg"> <br> <p>And there’s nobody else, either, running the way she’s running, attempting to walk a line that’s so vanishingly thin it might not exist. She tempers tough talk on immigration with poignant pieces of her personal backstory, leaning on her identity without leaving crowds with so much as a whiff of “identity politics.” She checks “woke” boxes without invoking the term.

This, though, say those who know her the best and have watched her the longest, is what she is and consistently has been. “She’s always careful about not going so far she completely alienates other people,” said Chip Felkel, a Republican strategist in South Carolina. “She will — what’s the word? — she will adapt to whatever benefits her … to whoever she’s around,” said Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist in South Carolina. “She’s not new to this,” he said. “She’s true to this.”</p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/29/2e/66ac01cf4bcba315938b6000d7bc/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary3.png"> <br> <p>The question, of course, is whether <i>this</i> is what Republican voters, or at least enough of them, even desire — whether in the end they view today’s totally toxic politics as an argument that needs to be cooled or just a war that needs to be won.

But nationally, and more materially here and in the other early states, what every poll says is that Trump has by far the biggest share of Republican votes. So can the way she’s running work? In rooms like this one with the packed crowd at the VFW, can she coalesce that even-larger share of Republicans who don’t favor the former president and might still be shopping for an alternative? More specifically, can she persuade voters like the man who had just asked the question about pulling the country back together? Nikki Haley looked again at Ted Johnson, the veteran who is tired of the fighting.</p> <p>She talked about the 2015 murders by a young white supremacist of nine Black praying parishioners at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. She talked about her response in cajoling recalcitrant legislators to once and for all bring down the Confederate flag and the pole on which it flew in front of the capitol in Columbia.

In Grand Mound, in the eastern end of the state surrounded by so many rows of corn, Haley had just climbed into the cab of a combine to go for a drive so the television cameras set in the dirt could get the shot. “Keep in mind this is a Friday afternoon in the middle of harvest,” Austin Harris, a state representative supporting Haley, told me as hundreds of locals filed into a big, fancy barn. “Not a great time for a political event, so the fact that this place is packed and energetic, I think, is a sign of where the campaign is moving.” Before long Haley took the stage in front of two gargantuan tractors. She stood where she almost always stands. In the middle.</p> <p>She couched her condemnation of “biological boys” playing girls’ sports by speaking specifically as a mother. “I had a daughter who ran track in high school …”</p> <p>She lamented the ballooning national debt, but she blamed Republicans, too.</p> <p>She delivered a line she deploys almost everywhere she goes: “I was elected the first female minority governor in history.

And then she quickly pivoted, as is her wont, to why Republicans should ditch Trump, although she never, of course, called him old or dropped his name. “It is time,” she said, “to “leave the negativity and the drama of the past” — time, she said, for “a new generational leader.”</p> <p>Jim Barton was looking for more. He was first up with a question for Haley. He said he was from Lexington, South Carolina, where in 2004 Haley was living when she first ran for a seat in the state legislature and endured racist, sexist ads — to beat a white male incumbent who was more than 30 years older. Barton, 62, added that he thought she had been an “incredible governor.” He was a fan. Now, though, he had a question that really was more of an urgently worded request.</p> <p>“Break from Trump’s base,” Barton told Haley. “Just throw ’em away. Let the rest of America know who you are.”</p> <p>She did. Just not in the way Barton meant.</p> <p>“Why don’t I break from the base?” Haley responded. “I have had people say I love Trump too much, and I’ve had people say I hate Trump too much,” she said. “I don’t agree with Trump a hundred percent of the time. I don’t disagree with Trump a hundred percent of the time. That’s the same way I feel about my husband.” That got a lusty laugh from the crowd. “So where do I disagree with Trump?” She said the government when Trump was president “spent like drunken sailors and I think our kids aren’t going to forgive us for it.” She sounded her support for Ukraine “because a win for Russia is a win for China.” He thinks Jan. 6 was “a beautiful day,” and she thinks Jan. 6 was “a terrible day,” she said. “So it’s not me being about the base or not about the base,” she concluded. “We’re Americans.”<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/58/72/c2d47996466b886ea92fd7e9b106/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary9.jpg"> <br> <p>This drew applause, albeit not raucous applause, and I made sure to catch up with Barton before he departed the barn.</p> <p>“I’m overly anti-Trump. I acknowledge that’s a weakness. I can’t stand the man. He’s a traitor to our country for Jan. 6. So any support for him grinds my skin,” he said. “She gave a much more reasonable answer than my heart wants.”</p> <p>If Haley, though, is to win the GOP nomination, I said to Barton, “she somehow has to appeal to people like you who hate Trump — but she <i>also</i> has to appeal to some people who <i>don’t</i>.”</p> <p>Barton sighed. “Her answer worked enough for me, because I was already on her side,” he said.</p> <p>But did he think it was enough for her to become the nominee?</p> <p>“No.”<br></p> <br> <p><b><u>H</u></b>aving been at, among other venues, a VFW, a senior center and a farm, Haley spent a lunch hour last week in Greenland, N.H., at the Portsmouth Country Club to speak to nine tables of 10 members of the Portsmouth Rotary Club. It had dawned on me only when I pulled up that this was the same Rotary Club to which Trump in October of 1987 <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/02/donald-trump-first-campaign-speech-new-hampshire-1987-213595/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"gave his very first quasi-real speech as a would-be presidential candidate","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/02/donald-trump-first-campaign-speech-new-hampshire-1987-213595/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">gave his very first quasi-real speech as a would-be presidential candidate</a>. Behind Haley now on the wall was a blue and yellow banner stating the Rotarians’ so-called Four-Way Test. The first of the four tests: “Is it the TRUTH?” Haley gave her speech and asked for questions.</p> <p>“There’s nothing I won’t answer,” she said. “You might not like my answer, but …”</p> <p>She was asked about abortion. “I am unapologetically for life, not because the Republican Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted and I had trouble having both of my children,” she said. “So I don’t judge anyone for being pro-choice any more than I want you to judge me for being pro-life.” And the idea of a federal ban? “You would have to have the majority of the House, 60 senators — six-oh — and a signature of a president.” Not, in other words, gonna happen. “So why don’t we just find consensus? Can’t we agree that we don’t want late-term abortions? Can’t we agree that we should encourage adoptions and better-quality adoptions? Can’t we agree that doctors and nurses who don’t believe in abortions shouldn’t have to perform them? Can’t we agree that contraception should be accessible? Can’t we agree …”</p> <p>She was asked (in a sort of a Rotary gag) which state she liked campaigning in more — Iowa or New Hampshire.</p> <p><i>White or Black?</i></p> <p><i>Pick a side.</i></p> <p><i>“I’m neither!”</i><br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/fb/cd/4cbd48394662a47470f43e8ecf47/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary11.png"> <br> <p>“Do you want me to win?” she said.</p> <p>And she was asked, as she so frequently is, about Trump and where she stands — but in a new kind of way. “I’m interested,” said James Petersen, 60, an engineer and a past president of the Rotary Club, “what you think a hundred years from now how history will remember Donald Trump."</p> <p>The crowd stirred. “Oooooh …”</p> <p>“Wow,” Haley said. “You get the prize for the question I haven’t been asked.” Laughter and clapping and hooting and hollering rippled through the room. She called them “feisty.”</p> <p>“How do I think he will be remembered?” Haley repeated. “Time,” she offered, “does funny things.”</p> <p>It does.</p> <p>In 2016, for instance, Haley in the GOP primary first endorsed Marco Rubio — “I will do whatever it takes to help you beat Donald Trump,” she told him — attacking Trump for his business failures, for not releasing his tax returns, for not disavowing the Ku Klux Klan, for doing “everything we teach our kids not to do in kindergarten.” After Rubio lost, she shifted her support to (without fully endorsing) Ted Cruz, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/16/politics/nikki-haley-supports-ted-cruz/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"saying it was her “hope and prayer”","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/16/politics/nikki-haley-supports-ted-cruz/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">saying it was her “hope and prayer”</a> that Cruz would become president.</p> <p>Eventually — and reluctantly — she voted for Trump. “This election,” <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/politics/nikki-haley-donald-trump/index.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"she said","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/27/politics/nikki-haley-donald-trump/index.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0006","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a5f0007","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">she said</a>, “has been embarrassing for both parties.” Trump pounced. “The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!” he tweeted.

He listened and brought in a group of people who felt unheard, like where I grew up in rural South Carolina.” She paused.</p> <p>“He was strong on foreign policy and getting America’s respect in the world. He was thin-skinned and easily distracted.” Longer pause. What other negatives? How many more? “He didn’t do anything on fiscal policy and really spent a lot of money and we’re all paying the price. He did do a better job than Biden on the border, really trying to corral that and stop that. He used to be good on foreign policy and now he has started to walk it back and get weak in the knees when it comes to Ukraine.”</p> <p>She said again what she had said in Grand Mound about “a beautiful day” and “a terrible day.” And that prompted a round of some clapping and so that’s where she stopped.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/22/2b/afa7d0fa42e9b2443b3924ff2d26/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary13.jpg"> <br> <p>At the end of the event, I made a beeline for Petersen. “What I was hoping to find out is how she felt about Trump,” he told me.</p> <p>“Did you?” I asked.</p> <p>“She kind of was on the fence,” he said. “She played both sides. So I would’ve liked a stronger answer. That Trump has done a lot of damage. That’s what I would’ve liked to have heard.”</p> <p>And I caught up with Peter Weeks as he was walking out the door. A former mayor of Portsmouth, he had asked the question about Iowa or New Hampshire. But I wanted to talk to him because we had talked going on eight years back because he was at that 1987 Trump speech. He voted for him, he told me, in 2016. He did not in 2020. “The way he attacks people,” he said, “picks on people.” Last time around, unable to stomach either of the options, he wrote in his own name.</p> <p>“Peter, it’s nice to see you,” said Barbara Miller, a retired banker, as she walked by. She blew him a kiss. “Even though I disagree with you — I <i>like</i> Donald Trump.”</p> <p>“I don’t like him <i>now</i>,” Weeks said. “The whole insurrection …”</p> <p>“I think there’s more to that story than what the press shows you,” she said. “But I still love you, Peter — even if you’re misinformed.”</p> <p>“Oh, no, no,” he said — friendly banter that now had taken on a bit more of an edge.</p> <p>Haley moved past en route to the back of a waiting black SUV, and Weeks gave her a smile and a thumbs-up. I walked with Miller to her car. She had on a red and white striped dress, a string of pearls and a brooch. “PROUD TO BE A REPUBLICAN,” it said. She wants Trump to win in 2024, she offered, because she thinks he won in 2020. It was a lovely New England fall afternoon. Golfers took their clubs from their trunks. And I found myself thinking standing there in the parking lot that for every Peter Weeks, for every Kevin Kober, for every Jim Barton, there are at least as many Barbara Millers. Almost certainly more. “There’s something going on,” she told me. “The Obama-Clinton-Biden group. Jeffrey Epstein. I think it all ties in,” she said. “There’s something going on,” she said again.<br></p> <br> <p><b><u>B</u></b>ack in Merrimack at the VFW, in the space that was conspicuously quiet as she had talked about the shooting in the church, and the flag at the capitol, and the produce stand and her father and her pain and how she had used it to cajole, Nikki Haley finished her answer to the question from the retired soldier and the registered independent about how she was going to get people to “see the best of themselves” and pull the country back together. “That,” she told the crowd, and told Ted Johnson, “is what I’m going to do as your president.”</p> <p>She had left out, of course, her uncomfortable <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/15/nikki-haley-confederate-flag-timeline/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"shifts in her stance on the flag","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/15/nikki-haley-confederate-flag-timeline/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a600006","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a600007","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">shifts in her stance on the flag</a>. “I would not want to revisit that issue,” she had said in 2009 during her gubernatorial run. “I feel like it’s been resolved to the best of its ability,” she had said in 2010 in an interview with the Sons of Confederate Veterans. “It takes two-thirds of the house and two-thirds of the senate to change that. That’s not gonna happen,” she said — shades of how she talks about abortion now. “For those groups that come in and say they have issues with the Confederate flag, I will work to talk to them about it. I will work and talk to them about the heritage and how this is not something that is racist. This is something that is a tradition that people feel proud of.” She was hesitant, too, even in the aftermath of the shooting in 2015. It took some presidential candidates and state lawmakers to call for the flag to come down for Haley to say the same.</p> <p>Here, though, she had said what she had said, and she wrapped up the way she does: “If you like what I’ve had to say today, go tell 10 people. Tell ’em to go to NikkiHaley.com. Tell ’em to volunteer. Tell ’em to join one of our veterans’ or our women’s groups. Tell ’em to give $5, $10, $25. If you <i>don’t</i> like what I’ve had to say” — and she put her finger to her lips — “<i>shhhhhhh</i> …” It elicited, as always, a burst of laughter.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/91/c4/11df17ed4d7a92abed1cb22a450c/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary15.jpg"> <br> <p>The reactions to her answer about pulling the country together were mixed.</p> <p>“<i>Was</i> that an answer?” Chip Felkel, the Republican strategist in South Carolina, told me when I described the interaction.</p> <p>“You ask her, ‘What is the temperature outside?’” said Antjuan Seawright, the Democratic strategist in South Carolina, “and she’ll say something along the lines of, ‘I grew up in Bamberg, where the people always stood up for what they believed and they dressed according to the weather.’”</p> <p>“I’ve said since she left the governorship and went to the U.N.,” Felkel said, “that she was about to embark on a major case of a high-wire act. And she’s still on the wire.”</p> <p>In the room at the VFW, some people liked the answer, and some people didn’t. “Very poignant,” state Rep. Mike Moffett (R-Merrimack) told me. “A little long,” said state Rep. Bob Healey (R-Hillsborough), who has endorsed DeSantis but also expressed that he was keeping his options open. “Way too long,” said state Rep. Tim McGough (R-Hillsborough). “What she actually did for me was teach me something about her that I didn’t like,” he added. “She seemed a bit reactionary, as opposed to a careful leader.” Still, for Kim Rice, a Haley-supporting former state representative, the answer was the highlight of the whole afternoon. “It brought tears to my eyes,” she told me. “It shows how she can bring people together. Because that could have been turned into a very divisive time.”</p> <p>Most markedly, though, for the man who had asked the question, Haley’s “heartfelt” answer, he said, was what he was wanting to hear. It worked for Ted Johnson. He once favored Trump, the IT project manager told me, “because he was the rebel, the non-politician,” but now he was “a rebel without a cause” — so he’s looking for something else. Some<i>one</i> else. “And it’s going to be a long road, because of Trump’s support, but I’m behind her,” he said. “It just seemed like she might be able to reach across the aisle.”<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/12/60/3331444a4053af509e40e2a2af71/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary16.jpg"> <br> <p>What’s that even mean anymore? The aisle’s not an aisle. It’s a breach. It’s become in politics such a hackneyed phrase — often cited, seldom practiced.</p> <p>But it meant something for Ted Johnson. At the heart of the reason he asked what he asked, he told me, was his brother. They used to ride bikes together, and they used to play basketball together, and they both joined the Army, and they both did overseas tours, coming of age in Illinois in the middle of the state in the middle of the country in a town called Centralia. But they haven’t talked, he said, for more than two years — in part because of politics, and especially because of Trump. He was for him. His brother was not. “It’s splitting families,” he told me. “I hate it so much,” he said. “My older brother. My best friend.”</p> <p>Fred “J.R.” Johnson, 61, lives in Louisville and teaches high school English. He picked up when I called. I explained why I wanted to talk, the question his brother had asked, what he had told me about why. Fred Johnson told me it was true. He and his brother hadn’t talked for a good while. It’s not all about politics, he said. Families are complicated. Things get hard. Politics, though, he agreed, was and remains a big part of the rift. He said their father had been an early and avid listener of Rush Limbaugh. “Ted kind of gravitated toward it, and I went the other way,” he said.</p> <p>Trump, though, ripped open the rupture. “He is a Trump kind of person,” he told me. “I am not a Trump kind of person.” A registered independent, too, he told me he had voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. I asked him what he was thinking heading toward 2024. “I like Nikki Haley,” he told me. “I think Nikki Haley’s the only one that I have seen that is trying to find some middle ground, some common ground.” I suggested to him the Johnson brothers of Centralia might at this point have more in common politically than they think. “I mean, if he’s gravitating towards Nikki Haley, well, so am I,” he said.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/f2/4f/a98692ce4ba8bc60700ebd9b61f4/mag-kruse-nikkihaley-secondary17.jpg"> <br> <p>We talked for more than 40 minutes. Before we hung up, he had one request. If I talked again to his little brother, and I told him I probably would, he wanted me to pass along something he wanted to say.</p> <p>“Tell him,” Fred Johnson said, “J.R. says he loves you.”</p> <p>So I did.</p> <p>“And I,” Ted Johnson said, “love him, too.”<br></p> <br> <br> <br>]]>

Dean Phillips will step down from his role as co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, but “will remain in his congressional seat representing MN-03 and will remain a part of the Democratic Caucus,” a spokesperson for the Minnesota lawmaker confirmed to POLITICO in a statement.</p> <p>“My convictions relative to the 2024 presidential race are incongruent with the majority of my caucus, and I felt it appropriate to step aside from elected leadership to avoid unnecessary distractions during a critical time for our country,” Phillips said in a statement forwarded by the spokesperson. “I celebrate Leader [Hakeem] Jeffries for his remarkable and principled leadership and extend gratitude to my outstanding friends and colleagues for having created space and place for my perspectives. I’ll continue to abide by my convictions, place people over politics, and support our shared mission to deliver security, opportunity, and prosperity for all Americans.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/10/01/dean-phillips-steps-down-dem-leadership-biden" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"Axios first reported Phillips’ plans","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.axios.com/2023/10/01/dean-phillips-steps-down-dem-leadership-biden","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a660008","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a660009","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">Axios first reported Phillips’ plans</a>.</p> <p>The moderate Democrat has floated the possibility of mounting a primary challenge against President Joe Biden, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/28/2024-presidential-contest-candidates-biden-trump-00108685" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"meeting with donors in New York","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/28/2024-presidential-contest-candidates-biden-trump-00108685","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a66000a","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a66000b","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">meeting with donors in New York</a> over the summer to talk about the prospect.</p> <p>In August he called on other Democrats to “jump in” to the presidential race, citing <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/11/us/politics/biden-approval-polling-2024.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"polling from The New York Times","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/11/us/politics/biden-approval-polling-2024.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a66000c","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a66000d","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">polling from The New York Times</a> that showed most Democrats would prefer someone other than Biden in the 2024 presidential race.</p> <p>“I think I’m well positioned to be president [of] the United States. … I do not believe I’m well positioned to run for it right now,” he said at the time.</p> <p>But as of last week, Phillips still had not ruled out a White House bid.</p> <p>“I am thinking about it.

But the court is starting to feel some pressure, and when it convenes on Monday for the first time since June, it will be grappling not only with a slate of new cases, but also controversies around the justices’ finances and jurisprudence.</p> <p>The nine justices, unlike lower-court judges, don’t have a formal ethics code — an omission that’s come under scrutiny amid a spate of news stories digging into trips taken and benefits received by <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-scotus-undisclosed-luxury-travel-gifts-crow" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"Clarence Thomas","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-scotus-undisclosed-luxury-travel-gifts-crow","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">Clarence Thomas</a>, and, to a lesser degree, <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"Samuel Alito","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">Samuel Alito</a> and <a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-sotomayor-book-sales-ethics-colleges-b2cb93493f927f995829762cb8338c02" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"Sonia Sotomayor","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-sotomayor-book-sales-ethics-colleges-b2cb93493f927f995829762cb8338c02","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a6a0005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">Sonia Sotomayor</a>.</p> <p>Those investigations, combined with some high-profile decisions on issues like abortion that put the court at odds with public opinion, have dented the public’s view of the court’s legitimacy over the past few years.

A similar percentage (67 percent) say the court should televise oral arguments, while 66 percent believe there should be an age limit for the justices. A smaller majority, 60 percent, think there should be an equal number of Democrats, Republicans and independents on the high court.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/86/b1/9387f199461499a46c0330978503/https-delivery-gettyimages.com/downloads/1431371148"> <br> <p>Two proposals did not earn broad support, however.</p> <p>Only 44 percent think the number of justices should be expanded, though that includes 65 percent of Democrats.

A majority, 52 percent, correctly say the majority of justices have been appointed by Republican presidents (six of the nine justices currently serving have been). And 55 percent say the court is at least somewhat conservative, including 21 percent who call it “very conservative.”</p> <p>The poll also explored where the public stands on some of the issues likely to come before the court over the next year, including gun rights for accused domestic abusers and the effort in some states to bar former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot over his conduct following the 2020 election.</p> <p>Only 31 percent of voters say they support allowing people under restraining orders to possess firearms, while a 56 percent majority oppose allowing those people to have guns. The Supreme Court will hear a case on a federal law banning those people from having guns in November.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the poll found softening opposition to the court’s controversial abortion ruling last year. Asked about the “Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and leave abortion policies in the U.S. up to the states,” more voters say they disapprove (46 percent) of the ruling than approve (42 percent).</p> <p>But in a July 2022 Morning Consult poll conducted in the immediate aftermath of the Dobbs ruling, disapproval of the decision was 9 points higher: 55 percent, with just 35 percent approving.</p> <p>The new survey asked voters for their opinions of the nine justices individually but found little overall differences, including broad swaths of the electorate who have never heard of them or have no opinion.<br></p> <br> <p>As it was in 2020, the Supreme Court is likely to be a major issue in the next presidential campaign. Voters are divided evenly between whether they trust President Joe Biden (44 percent) or former President Donald Trump (42 percent) to handle the Supreme Court more.</p> <p>The POLITICO | Morning Consult poll (<a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018a-e2ee-dd68-a3cf-fbfe15750000" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1696024614817,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"0000014f-1297-d5f6-a96f-dad7f27e0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1696024614817,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"0000014f-1297-d5f6-a96f-dad7f27e0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018a-e2ee-dd68-a3cf-fbfe15750000","_id":"0000018a-e2f1-d56c-abfa-eefdcc1b0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"toplines","_id":"0000018a-e2f1-d56c-abfa-eefdcc1b0000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">toplines</a>, <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018a-e2ef-d56c-abfa-eeef92cc0000" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1696024629235,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"0000014f-1297-d5f6-a96f-dad7f27e0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1696024629235,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"0000014f-1297-d5f6-a96f-dad7f27e0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000018a-e2ef-d56c-abfa-eeef92cc0000","_id":"0000018a-e2f2-d56c-abfa-eeff025b0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"crosstabs","_id":"0000018a-e2f2-d56c-abfa-eeff025b0000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">crosstabs</a>) was conducted Sept. 23-25, surveying 1,967 registered voters online.

But he doesn’t think he’ll be put in that position.</p> <p>“I am sure that that will not happen, but I would not do anything in that regard,” he said on CBS “60 Minutes.” “And if necessary, I would resign. But there is no sense that anything like that will happen.”</p> <p>The Justice Department is at the center of not only indictments against Trump that include an effort to overturn the 2020 election and wrongly keeping classified documents, but also cases involving Biden’s son Hunter, the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol and investigations into classified documents found in the president’s home and office. Garland has appointed three separate special counsels.</p> <p>Garland has spoken only sparingly about the cases and reiterated Sunday he would not get into specifics, but dismissed claims by Trump and his supporters that the cases were timed to ruin his chances to be president in 2024.</p> <p>“Well, that’s absolutely not true. Justice Department prosecutors are nonpartisan. They don’t allow partisan considerations to play any role in their determinations,” Garland said.</p> <p>Garland said the president has never tried to meddle in the investigations, and he dismissed criticism from Republicans that he was going easy on the president’s son, Hunter, who was recently indicted on a gun charge after a plea deal in his tax case fell apart. Hunter Biden is due in a Delaware court this week.</p> <p>“We do not have one rule for Republicans and another rule for Democrats. We don’t have one rule for foes and another for friends,” he said. ”We have only one rule; and that one rule is that we follow the facts and the law, and we reach the decisions required by the Constitution, and we protect civil liberties.”</p> <p>Garland choked up when talking about his concerns over violence, particularly as judges and prosecutors assigned to the Trump cases got death threats.</p> <p>“People can argue with each other as much as they want and as vociferously as they want. But the one thing they may not do is use violence and threats of violence to alter the outcome,” he said. “American people must protect each other. They must ensure that they treat each other with civility and kindness, listen to opposing views, argue as vociferously as they want, but refrain from violence and threats of violence. That’s the only way this democracy will survive.”</p>]]>

But the former president broke routine Sunday, putting off his practice of quietly watching church services online to instead celebrate his 99th birthday with his wife, Rosalynn, and their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Plains.</p> <p>The gathering took place in the same one-story structure where the Carters lived before he was first elected to the Georgia Senate in 1962. As tributes poured in from around the world, it was an opportunity for Carter’s family to honor his personal legacy.</p> <p>“The remarkable piece to me and I think to my family is that while my grandparents have accomplished so much, they have really remained the same sort of South Georgia couple that lives in a 600-person village where they were born,” said grandson Jason Carter, who chairs the board at The Carter Center, which his grandparents founded in 1982 after leaving the White House a year earlier.</p> <p>Despite being global figures, the younger Carter said his grandparents have always “made it easy for us, as a family, to be as normal as we can be.”</p> <p>At The Carter Center in Atlanta, meanwhile, 99 new American citizens, who came from 45 countries, took the oath of allegiance as part of a naturalization ceremony timed for the former president’s birthday.</p> <p>“This is so impressive, and I’m so happy for it to be here,” said Tania Martinez after the ceremony. A 53-year-old nurse in Roswell, Martinez was born in Cuba and came to the U.S. from Ghana 12 years ago.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/ec/cd/852b17614b748df45f6ed2f2ea66/jimmy-carter-birthday-38702.jpg"> <br> <p>“Now, I will be free forever,” she said, tears welling.</p> <p>Celebrating the longest-lived U.S. president this way was inconceivable not long ago. The Carters announced in February that their patriarch was forgoing further medical treatments and entering home hospice care after a series of hospitalizations. Yet Carter, who overcame cancer diagnosed at age 90 and learned to walk after having his hip replaced at age 94, defied all odds again.</p> <p>“If Jimmy Carter were a tree, he’d be an towering, old Southern oak,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic national chairperson and presidential campaign manager who got her start on Carter’s campaigns. “He’s as good as they come and tough as they come.”</p> <p>Jill Stuckey, a longtime Plains resident who visits the former first couple regularly, cautioned to “never underestimate Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.”</p> <p>His latest resilience has allowed Carter a rare privilege even for presidents: He’s been able to enjoy months of accolades typically reserved for when a former White House resident dies. The latest round includes a flood of messages from world leaders and pop culture figures donning “Jimmy Carter 99” hats, with many of them focusing on Carter’s four decades of global humanitarian work after leaving the Oval Office.</p> <p>Katie Couric, the first woman to anchor a U.S. television network’s evening news broadcast, praised Carter in a social media video for his “relentless effort every day to make the world a better place.”</p> <p>She pointed to Carter’s work to eradicate Guinea worm disease and river blindness, while advocating for peace and democracy in scores of countries. She noted he has written 32 books and worked for decades with Habitat for Humanity building houses for low-income people.</p> <p>“Oh, yeah, and you were governor of Georgia. And did I mention president of the United States?” she joked. “When are you going to stop slacking off?”</p> <p>Bill Clinton, the 42nd president and first Democratic president after Carter’s landslide defeat, showed no signs of the chilly relationship the two fellow Southerners once had.</p> <p>“Jimmy! Happy birthday,” Clinton said in his video message. “You only get to be 99 once. It’s been a long, good ride, and we thank you for your service and your friendship and the enduring embodiment of the American dream.”</p> <p>Musician Peter Gabriel led concertgoers at Madison Square Garden in a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” as did the Indigo Girls at a recent concert.</p> <p>In Atlanta, the Carter Library & Museum and adjacent Carter Center held a weekend of events, including the citizenship ceremony. The museum offered 99-cent admission Saturday. The commemoration there was able to continue Sunday only because Congress came to an agreement to avoid a partial government shutdown at the start of the federal fiscal year, which coincides with Carter’s birthday.</p> <p>Jason Carter said his grandfather has found it “gratifying” to see reassessments of his presidency. Carter’s term often has been broad-brushed as a failure because of inflation, global fuel shortages and the holding of American hostages in Iran, a confluence that led to Republican Ronald Reagan’s 1980 romp.</p> <p>Yet Carter’s focus on diplomacy, his emphasis on the environment before the climate crisis was widely acknowledged and his focus on efficient government — his presidency added a relative pittance to the national debt — have garnered second looks from historians.</p> <p>Indeed, Carter’s longevity offers a frame to illuminate both how much the world has changed over his lifetime while still recognizing that certain political and societal challenges endure.</p> <p>The Carter Center’s disease-eradication work occurs mostly in developing countries. But Jimmy and Roslaynn Carter were first exposed to river blindness growing up surrounded by the crushing poverty of the rural Deep South during the Great Depression.</p> <p>The Center’s global democracy advocacy has reached countries that were still part of various European empires when Carter was born in 1924 or were under heavy American influence in the decades after World War II. Yet in recent years, Carter has declared his own country to be more of an “oligarchy” than a well-functioning democracy. And the Center has since become involved in monitoring and tracking U.S. elections.</p> <p>Carter has lived long enough finally to have a genuine friend in the Oval Office again. President Joe Biden was a young Delaware politician in 1976 and became the first U.S. senator to endorse Carter’s campaign against better-known Washington figures. Now, as Biden seeks reelection in 2024, he faces the headwinds of inflation that Republicans openly compare to Carter’s economy. Biden had a wooden birthday cake display placed on the White House front law to honor Carter.</p> <p>The year Carter was born, Congress passed sweeping immigration restrictions, sharply curtailing Ellis Island as a portal to the nation. Now, the naturalization ceremony to mark Carter’s 99th birthday comes as Washington continues a decades-long fight over immigration policy. Republicans, especially, have moved well to the right of Reagan, who in 1986 signed a sweeping amnesty policy for millions of immigrants who were in the country illegally or had no sure legal path to citizenship.</p> <p>Carter also was born into Jim Crow segregation, at a time when the Ku Klux Klan marched openly on state capitols and in Washington. As governor and president, Carter set new marks for appointing Black Americans to top government posts. At 99, Carter’s Sunday online church circuit includes watching Georgia’s first Black U.S. senator, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, preach at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Yet, at the same time, some white state lawmakers in Carter’s native region are defying the U.S. Supreme Court in an effort to curtail Black voters’ strength at the ballot box.</p> <p>Jason Carter said understanding his grandfather’s impact means resisting the urge to assess whether he solved every problem he confronted or won every election. Instead, he said, the takeaway is to recognize a sweeping impact rooted in respecting other people on an individual level and trying to help them.</p> <p>“You don’t get more out of a life than he got, right?” the younger Carter said. “It is a incredible, full rich life with a long marriage, a wonderful partnership with my grandmother, and the ability to see the world and interact with the world in ways that almost nobody else has ever been able to do.”</p>]]>

He declined to discuss his decision further and did not say whether Cody was still being paid.</p> <p>Voice messages and emails from the AP seeking comment from Cody’s lawyers were not immediately returned Saturday.</p> <p>The Aug. 11 searches of the Marion County Record’s office and the homes of its publisher and a City Council member have been sharply criticized, putting Marion at the center of a debate over the press protections offered by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.</p> <p>Cody’s suspension is a reversal for the mayor, who previously said he would wait for results from a state police investigation before taking action.</p> <p>Vice-Mayor Ruth Herbel, whose home was also raided Aug. 11, praised Cody’s suspension as “the best thing that can happen to Marion right now” as the central Kansas town of about 1,900 people struggles to move forward under the national spotlight.</p> <p>“We can’t duck our heads until it goes away, because it’s not going to go away until we do something about it,” Herbel said.</p> <p>Cody has said little publicly since the raids other than posting a defense of them on the police department’s Facebook page. In court documents he filed to get the search warrants, he argued that he had probable cause to believe the newspaper and Herbel, whose home was also raided, had violated state laws against identity theft or computer crimes.</p> <p>The raids came after a local restaurant owner accused the newspaper of illegally accessing information about her. A spokesman for the agency that maintains those records has said the newspaper’s online search that a reporter did was likely legal even though the reporter needed personal information about the restaurant owner that a tipster provided to look up her driving record.</p> <p>The newspaper’s publisher Eric Meyer has said the identity theft allegations simply provided a convenient excuse for the search after his reporters had been digging for background information on Cody, who was appointed this summer.</p> <p>Legal experts believe the raid on the newspaper violated a federal privacy law or a state law shielding journalists from having to identify sources or turn over unpublished material to law enforcement.</p> <p>Video of the raid on the home of publisher Eric Meyer shows how distraught his 98-year-old mother became as officers searched through their belongings. Meyer said he believes that stress contributed to the death of his mother, Joan Meyer, a day later.</p> <p>Another reporter last month filed a federal lawsuit against the police chief over the raid.<br></p>]]>

But you’d be wrong.</p> <p>“For all practical purposes for D.C., the federal government has been shut down since March 9, 2020,” said Yesim Sayin, executive director of the D.C. Policy Center, a leading District-focused think tank. “So it really doesn’t matter as much.”</p> <p>Sayin’s blunt assessment represents an astonishing new status quo for the nation’s capital, a city where roughly one in four jobs — a total of <a href="https://ora-cfo.dc.gov/page/economic-and-revenue-trend-reports-august-2023" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"191,967, according to the latest estimate","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://ora-cfo.dc.gov/page/economic-and-revenue-trend-reports-august-2023","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a79000b","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a79000c","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">191,967, according to the latest estimate</a> — is in the federal government.</p> <p>During prior shutdowns, people elsewhere made jokes about how no one could tell that the government was off duty. But locals, even the ones safely ensconced in the private sector, couldn’t help but notice. Rush-hour seats were suddenly available on the Metro. Lines at lunch spots had shrunk. Streets and sidewalks were easier to navigate.</p> <p>Since idled federal workers always wound up getting paid back for their involuntary time off, it was these adjacent private businesses where the budget stand-off had some of its biggest effects: When there are nearly 200,000 fewer people making their way to offices every day, that means there are nearly 200,000 fewer potential customers at your boutique, diners in your restaurant or cars at your parking garage.</p> <p>Now, though, the potential shutdown of 2023 takes place against a backdrop where a lot of those workers are already spending their days at home. As a result, they’re <i>already</i> not parking, dining or shopping downtown.</p> <br> <p>“They’ve sort of been absent currently,” said Gerry Widdicombe, the chief financial officer of the Downtown Business Improvement District, which covers an area where roughly a third of the jobs are federal. “Nobody really knows where they are in the office.”</p> <p>“I think you’ll still see, maybe, people who are federal government workers who live in D.C. may reduce their spending a little bit, but eventually, when the shutdown ends, they always get back pay,” Sayin told me. “So from a practical perspective, the federal government shutdown’s impact on D.C. is now limited to, like, the zoo is closed or the Smithsonian is closed. It’s really not particularly important.”</p> <p>There are, of course, plenty of government contracting businesses who are also liable to not get paid. But the tough labor market could make those firms hesitant to cut people. “None of these contractors want to shed staff because it was hard to get staff,” said Terry Clower, who leads a George Mason University center that studies the regional economy.</p> <p>To be clear, Sayin, whose organization is funded by some of the region’s top businesses, is not saying the muted impact on D.C.’s economy is a good thing. To the contrary. While Washington boosters have long tried to portray their city as more than just a sleepy government town, the shrugging attitude toward the effects of a possible shutdown doesn’t reflect the sudden rise of a dynamic private sector.</p> <p>Rather, if Washington is really becoming just another American city where locals only notice a government shutdown because it closes a National Park Service attraction, it’s a danger sign for the capital — and a further indication that all the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/20/bowser-biden-federal-workers-washington-dc-00078677" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"talk about getting the feds back to their cubicles","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/20/bowser-biden-federal-workers-washington-dc-00078677","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a79000d","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a79000e","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">talk about getting the feds back to their cubicles</a> hasn’t translated into reality.</p> <p>In April, as the administration planned to end the pandemic emergency, the federal Office of Management and Budget ordered agencies to boost in-person work, something President Biden had called for in his State of the Union address. Last month, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients followed up with an email to the cabinet saying that “this is a priority of the President — and I am looking to each of you to aggressively execute this shift.”</p> <p>But a <a href="https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2023/09/heres-what-we-know-so-far-about-agencies-return-to-office-plans/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"recent report from the Federal News Network","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2023/09/heres-what-we-know-so-far-about-agencies-return-to-office-plans/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a790010","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a790011","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">recent report from the Federal News Network</a> shows that, however aggressively executed, this shift will not bring about a return to the glory days of office-building bustle. A running tally of return-to-work plans lists eligible employees’ number of mandatory in-person days per two-week pay period by agency, which range from four (at the Department of Education, the Social Security Administration and the EPA, among others) to between six and eight (at the State Department).</p> <p>Confoundingly, there’s no single source of information on telework across the vast federal workforce, and the definition of the phenomenon even varies by agency. The Office of Personnel Management (where, incidentally, eligible employees will have to spend four days per pay period in the office starting next month, according to the tally) steered me to <a href="https://www.opm.gov/telework/documents-for-telework/2021-telework-report.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"the most recent annual report on the subject","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.opm.gov/telework/documents-for-telework/2021-telework-report.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a7a0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a7a0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">the most recent annual report on the subject</a>, which came out last December and covers the year 2021.</p> <p>That year, some 47 percent of the federal workforce did at least some remote work, which represents nearly all of the employees who were eligible to do so. (Vast numbers of feds work at veterans’ hospitals, serve as federal prison guards, staff TSA checkpoints or otherwise have gigs that can’t be done via Zoom.)

The city’s nightlife corridors and creative dining scene have bounced back, but workaday lunch spots have still taken a beating, Widdicombe says — even though, in one fringe benefit, some of the federal agency cafeterias have still not reopened, which propels some would-be lunch-buyers outside to the private-sector eateries run by his organization’s members.</p> <p>“I’d rather have 10 percent of something than 50 percent of nothing,” he joked.</p> <p>For the city, which worries about rising crime, shrinking budgets and the abrupt end to an astonishing 25-year municipal comeback, this is bad news. For federal employees — and the country they serve — it’s less clear-cut. There’s little evidence that the vast expansion of work from home has meant a worse performance by the agencies, much less led to an epidemic of lazy bureaucrats goofing off in their pajamas, as suggested by some of the GOP pols who want to mandate in-person work.</p> <p>“They had this huge experiment: Does it work? Can the agency still accomplish its mission? The answer so far is a resounding yes,” says Jacqueline Simon, policy director for the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal union. “We all have a stake in prosperous cities and downtowns that have a lot of economic activity. On the other hand, you can’t place that burden on federal employees to patronize lunch restaurants. It’s not the responsibility of federal employees to keep these businesses in business.”</p> <p>At a time when large parts of the private sector have become much more flexible, and at a moment where all kinds of employers are having trouble recruiting and retaining top-shelf talent, simply ordering everyone with a federal badge on their lanyard to go back downtown would invite its own sort of personnel disaster.</p> <p>Still, when shutdowns come, the politics are a reminder that work — especially work on behalf of the taxpayers — isn’t just an economic exchange of labor for money.</p> <p>Part of what a national capital is involves a community of people working on the nation, whatever the source of their paycheck. Some of those folks, in law or lobbying or media or on the Hill, are involved in the political fray that Americans find so demoralizing. But others, notably those 200,000 feds spending careers developing sometimes comically specific expertise on behalf of obscure multi-letter agencies, live in the most earnest and apolitical culture around.</p> <p>By and large, it’s a culture that benefits from having so many of the pros in the same place at the same time.</p> <p>Smart-set types mock the federal lifers’ lanyards and bureaucratese, but the further our public servants are out of view, the easier it is to dismiss the entire venture — particularly in a country like this one, where so much of government takes the form of subsidies and grants and other ways of obscuring Uncle Sam’s role in programs that people actually like.</p> <p>“There’s this huge push to get federal employees back to their desks by the same individuals who are like, ‘Let’s shut it down,’” scoffed Simon, noting that much of the agita about federal telework came from the Republican right. It’s true. But when federal employees stop getting paychecks next week, there will be that much less evidence for the havoc the imbroglio is causing.</p> <p>Even if you leave aside the grim data about commercial real estate and local tax revenues and accept the assertion that hybrid government workers do just as good a job as the ones who used to spent every Monday to Friday in the Federal Triangle, it’s still clear that Washington has lost something due to the abrupt changes in work.</p> <p>Yes, you could say the same for other cities where downtowns are full of bankers or insurance brokers or advertising agents. But in the capital, the work of government is why the city was invented in the first place. A status quo where the apoliticals stay home — or, over time, relocate to entirely different time zones — further tips the balance towards the pugilists, whose jobs show no sign of moving.<br></p> <br>]]>

As a personal matter, however, her square and straightlaced sensibilities — shaped by her Catholic school girl education, 1950s-era wife and motherhood, wealth and privilege — recurrently clashed with gay culture and aspirations in the public arena.</p> <p>It was a political dynamic that shaped her career more broadly, as she often staked out liberal positions that incorporated incremental, centrist or conservative limits, on issues from criminal justice to labor relations and water policy, frequently angering the left or antagonizing her own supporters.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/d4/7b/041f7cab4548b3223e057e6cff0a/gettyimages-514682118.jpg"> <br> <p>Still, as Feinstein, who died Thursday night at age 90, is celebrated as a trailblazer for women, a historic steward of her hometown during an era of upheaval and a consequential U.S. senator, her leadership in helping usher LGBTQ citizens into America’s mainstream should not be overlooked. From her early days in San Francisco to congressional debates over gay marriage and participation in the military, she played a key role in centering LGBTQ rights as a national issue and a crucial value for Democrats.</p> <p>“From her time serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors with Harvey Milk to her battle to protect transgender service members, Dianne Feinstein has been a champion for LGBTQ equality and social justice,” Equality California, the nation’s largest statewide gay civil rights organization, said in endorsing her final campaign in 2018. “Senator Feinstein stood with our community back when few others did.”<br></p> <br> <h3 style="text-align: left">An Early Adapter</h3> <p>Feinstein reached out to gay voters — and fought for them in office — decades before other straight politicians, in former President Barack Obama’s famous formulation, “evolved.”</p> <p>At considerable political peril.</p> <p>In 1969, when New York’s Stonewall Riots sparked the “gay liberation” movement, the Archbishop of San Francisco wielded great local influence, and establishment politicians followed the traditional values playbook of conservative Democratic Mayor Joseph L. Alioto.</p> <p>The same could be said for Alioto’s heavily Irish and Italian Catholic police force.<br></p> <br> <p>The city had had an active gay underground since the Gold Rush, but local cops and state Alcohol Control Board agents alike aggressively enforced archaic public morality statutes well into the ‘70s.</p> <p>“Police bore down heavily on gays who, afraid of bar raids, took to finding sex in public parks,” gay historian Randy Shilts wrote of the time in “The Mayor of Castro Street,” his biography of Harvey Milk, the legendary gay San Francisco politician.</p> <p>“By 1971, police were arresting an average of about 2,800 gay men a year on public sex charges,” Shilts reported. “The number of men harassed in the crackdown was many times this official arrest statistic, since it was common knowledge that a $30 payoff to the police usually let the transgressor escape with only a stern warning.</p> <p>“Many of the arrests were thrown out of court (amid evidence) about police tactics of entrapment,” Shilts added. “But sentences meted out for gay offenses were sometimes higher than those given out for rape, armed robbery and even manslaughter.”</p> <p>In this atmosphere, Feinstein publicly sided with gay people as early as the mid-1960s, when she defended the right of women prisoners and parolees to have lesbian relationships, as an appointed member of a state criminal justice board.</p> <p>In 1969, in her first run for office, Feinstein won a stunning upset, and publicly credited gay voters for her victory margin.</p> <p>Over the next decade, still a new member of the Board of Supervisors, she risked backlash by authoring the nation’s first local anti-gay discrimination ordinance, and by supporting a measure legalizing all private sex acts in California. She performed a civil union ceremony at her home for two lesbian friends — a kindness for which Republican foes attacked her for decades — while her closest gay ally, activist Jim Foster, addressed the 1972 Democratic National Convention, becoming the first gay person ever to speak at a major party presidential gathering. In 1978, she cast the determinative vote for Harvey Milk’s landmark gay rights law.</p> <p>Then, on the awful morning of Monday, Nov. 27, 1978, she hurried to reach his bullet-ridden body. The smell of gun powder was still in the air, moments after Dan White, their former Board of Supervisors colleague, shot and killed Milk, after gunning down Mayor George Moscone.</p> <p>In an instant, Feinstein became San Francisco’s mayor, in the grimmest way imaginable.</p> <p>Then in the wake of Milk’s assassination, she helped to restore calm and order to a shaken city and was a compassionate and soothing presence to its large gay population, as it suffered the violent loss of the most visible symbol of their emergence from the shadows.<br></p> <br> <h3 style="text-align: left">An Infuriating Ally</h3> <p>In a case study of the paradoxical dynamics of the independent, pragmatic and moderate-in-the-mainstream brand of politics Feinstein always embodied, however, she also episodically confounded, disappointed and angered gay leaders and voters.</p> <p>Although she was an early champion of gay rights, Feinstein also conducted a one-woman crusade against pornography and X-rated theatres, many of them serving gay men.</p> <p>In the early 1970s, she incensed gay businesses and First Amendment advocates, while alienating the liberated and liberal young men flocking to the city that would become Milk’s base, when she tried to ban pornographic material presenting “acts of masturbation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse or physical contact with a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals.”</p> <p>It was one reason Feinstein and Milk did not get along.</p> <p>He thought her an incorrigible prude, calling her “The Wicked Witch of the West” behind her back. Milk saw Jim Foster, Feinstein’s gay ally, as an enemy, his work-within-the-system partnerships with straight Democrats too timid for his in-your-face approach.</p> <p>She detested Milk’s grandstanding, performative style, seeing it as too indecorous and unsuited to proper political deliberations; once, at a hearing on Milk’s proposed ban on anti-gay housing discrimination, Feinstein protested that landlords would be forced to accept tenants who were into S&M.</p> <p>Though they sniped at each other throughout their brief 10 months together in office, she provided crucial support for passing Milk’s landmark bill by one vote on the polarized board.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/4b/d1/61c29bc94090a5ee0f526ed7234b/gettyimages-1447876511.jpg"> <br> <p>After Milk’s murder, friends disclosed that, eerily fearing assassination, he had recorded a tape naming three possible successors — and ruling out Jim Foster. Feinstein followed his wishes, appointing a left-wing activist named Harry Britt.</p> <p>As she prepared for a November 1979 election for her own, full term as mayor, however, Feinstein’s political relations with gay voters broke down.</p> <p>Amid a wave of national media attention, she angered LGBTQ people with an insensitive comment in a <i>Ladies Home Journal</i> interview: “The right of an individual to live as he or she chooses can become offensive,” she said. “The gay community is going to have to face this. It’s time for us to live here respecting each other’s lifestyles but that doesn’t mean imposing them on others.”</p> <p>In May that year, she stumbled in her first big crisis as mayor: Thousands of gay people and others rioted, after a conservative jury found Dan White guilty of two counts, not of murder, but voluntary manslaughter — the equivalent of vehicular homicide.</p> <p>Conservatives bashed Feinstein for being too lenient with protesters, while Britt led cries of outrage from the left, blaming her after cops invaded a gay bar at closing time during the “White Night Riot” and beat patrons and others milling on Castro Street, the heart of Milk’s district.</p> <p>Anger over the cops, her magazine quote and increasing reports of street attacks on the LGBTQ community cost her politically. She was forced into a runoff against her conservative archenemy on the Board of Supervisors, after a gay realtor named David Scott captured 10 percent of the November vote in his run as a protest candidate.</p> <p>It starkly demonstrated that gay people now held the balance of electoral power in San Francisco.</p> <p>In the runoff, Feinstein apologized for her magazine comments. “I don’t come to you as a perfect person that knows all of the answers and that doesn’t make mistakes,” she said at a crucial debate sponsored by a local gay Democratic club. “But I do come to you as someone who has got a heart and a concern and a very deep interest and desire to represent this community.” She won Scott’s endorsement — and a four-year term of her own.</p> <p>One more big political clash with the gay community remained.</p> <p>In 1982, the Board of Supervisors passed a measure authored by Britt authorizing city health and other benefits for “domestic partners” of unmarried public employees, which primarily affected gay people. Under heavy pressure to veto the bill from religious leaders, Feinstein agonized; finally, against the unanimous advice of City Hall counselors, she killed it.</p> <p>Once again, the Castro District bloomed with “Dump Dianne” posters. Worse, backlash to the veto fueled a once-lagging recall campaign; launched by a fringe group called the White Panthers that was mad about her push for gun control, the moribund effort suddenly qualified for the ballot.</p> <p>However, she quickly framed the recall as a referendum on the rogue White Panthers, winning big and ensuring her easy reelection a few months later.</p> <p>Feinstein would later express regret for the controversial veto, but many gay political organizations did not forget, and highlight it still in assessments of her record.</p> <p>Britt, who finished a close second in the 1987 special congressional election that sent Nancy Pelosi to Washington, later recalled meeting with Feinstein about the legislation.</p> <p>“She told me she was very sympathetic, but she didn’t want to blaze any trails,” Britt, told me several years before his death in 2020. “She said, ‘Harry, I understand it’s a personal thing but I’m mayor of all the people.’ It really was a morality thing with her.’”<br></p> <br> <h3 style="text-align: left">The Ultimate Concern</h3> <p>In the 1980s, passions on other issues faded when AIDS began to ravage the Castro District. And Feinstein’s leadership on the crisis remains her greatest legacy in the city of her birth.</p> <p>San Francisco’s first patient with Kaposi’s sarcoma, a rare disease then called “gay cancer,” and later linked to AIDS, was diagnosed at General Hospital on July 1, 1981. The city became the country’s early center of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and soon it affected 50 percent of more than 50,000 gay men then estimated living in the city, the nation’s highest per capita rate of AIDS.</p> <p>At the time, years before new drugs would change the prognosis, it was a near-universal death sentence. At the end of Feinstein’s mayoral tenure, the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> reported, “more San Franciscans (were) dead of AIDS than from all the wars in this century, combined and doubled.”</p> <p>However, in partnership with its world-class research hospitals, community organizations and the CDC, the city built a public and private network of AIDS-related services, hailed as “The San Francisco Model” of care, widely viewed as the best in the world.</p> <p>Three years before President Ronald Reagan uttered the word “AIDS,” Feinstein also organized the first national AIDS task force, through the U.S. Conference of Mayors.</p> <p>Characteristically, her management of a crisis with huge impact on the gay community was not controversy-free.</p> <p>In 1982-1983, backed by local government health authorities, Feinstein moved aggressively to close dozens of gay bathhouses, identified as sites enabling widespread spread of infection. Some gay organizations and business leaders fiercely objected, fearing a new era of repression, and viewing the bathhouses as effective places to distribute information and education about AIDS.</p> <p>Later, however, even some gay leaders who strongly and consistently opposed Feinstein during her decades in local politics, credited her on AIDS.</p> <p>“She was extraordinarily sensitive to the AIDS issue throughout the epidemic,” recalled Carole Migden, a close ally of Milk, who later served as a city supervisor and in the state legislature.</p> <p>“She does not understand what gay people are all about,” Migden added, “but she has understood the issues of disease and death. And all other issues pale in comparison to this.”</p> <p>Feinstein concluded her tenure as mayor in 1988, and in 1990, ran a strong but unsuccessful race for governor against then-U.S. Sen. Pete Wilson (a campaign in which his Republican campaign strategists leaned on reporters to write about the “lesbian wedding in her backyard” nearly 20 years before). Two years later, however, she trounced Gov. Wilson’s appointed successor to his old seat, beginning the 30-plus years in Washington that marked the second half of her historic career.</p> <p>Beyond better-known achievements in the Senate — forcing release of the CIA torture report, a 25-year effort to pass the California Desert Protection Act and a decade-long federal ban on assault weapons — she took, and maintained, a high-profile stance as one of the most visible supporters of gay-rights issues and causes in Congress.</p> <p>From early in her tenure, she advocated for the right of gay people to marry, helping to lead the fight against the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions; in 1996, she was one of just 14 senators to vote against the bill, which Democratic President Bill Clinton signed into law. In 2008, she inveighed against California’s Proposition 8, which sought a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, and she later led a congressional group in filing an amicus brief in the landmark <i>Obergefell v. Hodges</i> case before the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.</p> <p>She took similar action on behalf of the civil rights of gay people on a host of other bitterly contested matters: opposing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy restricting gay people from serving openly in the military; supporting the Matthew Shepard Act to expand federal hate crime laws; seeking to prohibit discrimination against adoptive and foster parents because of sexual orientation; and expanding the government’s data collection parameters to include broader definitions of gender identity.</p> <p>In 2023, she assailed the Supreme Court for “enshrining discrimination against LGBTQ individuals” in <i>Creative LLC v. Elenis,</i> which ruled that a web designer who was unwilling to work for same-sex couples could ignore a Colorado state law outlawing such discrimination.</p> <p>“This decision,” she said, “will harm real people who again can be treated as second-class citizens.”<br></p> <br>]]>

So, too, was it with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose death at 87 after multiple battles with cancer shattered her admirers and pitched the Supreme Court rightward.</p> <p>And so it was this week with Dianne Feinstein, the 90-year-old California senator who suffered from shingles, injuries from a tumble at home and apparent memory loss, but whose death still managed to startle much of Washington. There is nothing truly surprising about life coming to an end for someone in her frail condition, except maybe that it did not happen sooner.</p> <p>Feinstein’s death should be more than startling. It should be a warning to the people in both parties who believe they can bend their own mortality to an electoral calendar or a personal timeline for legacy-building.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338082367112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>This delusion has never been more common or more potentially disruptive in the United States than it is today.</p> <p>With the great probability that Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be nominated for president next year, it is not a leap to say that it is likelier now than at any other point in recent memory that the next American president will expire before his term does.</p> <p>Biden’s age is a constant topic of conversation, but it is typically addressed in terms of electoral implications: Are voters really prepared to accept a president who would be 86 upon leaving office? Embedded in the question is a daring presumption about Biden’s lifespan.<br></p> <br> <p>The same could be said of Trump, the 77-year-old former president whose personal health is largely a question mark, and of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the 81-year-old Republican who suffered a fall earlier this year and has frozen up twice on camera since July. McConnell has declined to answer detailed questions about his condition, explaining away his obvious struggles as a function of lightheadedness.</p> <p>All these men seem to resent being reminded of their own mortality. The White House staff responds with snark and brittleness to coverage of the president’s age. McConnell is not an expressive man, but his irritation at being questioned about his health is readily apparent.</p> <p>Trump has blustered his way through the age issue so far, but he has never given an honest accounting of his physical state. His struggle with a dire coronavirus infection at the end of the 2020 campaign — and his attempt to obscure the gravity of that illness — should be a cautionary tale for anyone who believes they can make a confident assessment of his physical robustness.</p> <p>These are not cheap-shot political jibes. American politics is littered with examples of death intruding abruptly on our political leadership, changing the course of history in the process. Presidential assassinations to be sure, but also plane crashes and car wrecks and illnesses and other shootings.</p> <p>Feinstein’s life was a prime example of this: She became mayor of San Francisco not by the ballot but by the bullet, after the murder of George Moscone in 1978. There is a painful irony now that someone else will ascend to high office not by choice of California voters but because Feinstein, too, has left a sudden vacancy for someone to fill.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6338086535112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Electoral politics is a contingent business and mortality is the ultimate contingency. The only mystery is how few senior statesmen and stateswomen seem to grasp this.</p> <p>One person who must understand it is Biden, whose long life has been convulsed over and over by searing tragedy. If anyone in American politics knows that death keeps its own calendar, it is him. The president cannot be oblivious to the actuarial risks involved in seeking a second term — risks to himself, his party and the country.</p> <p>But this is also part of why so many politicians cling to their positions well past the point that it is medically advisable. If leaving office means accepting the inevitability of death, then you can start to see the appeal of running again. And again. And again.<br></p> <br>]]>

The answer, said Dincer, likely lies in a confluence of factors ranging from demographics to culture to rates of voter participation. But regardless of the root cause, it’s not easy for a state with a lengthy history of political malfeasance to clean up its act.</p> <p>“It’s a long-term process,” said Dincer. “Places don’t become corrupt overnight, but once they become corrupt, it is a lot more difficult to clean them up.”</p> <p><i>The following has been edited for clarity and concision. </i><br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/a5/d5/662cae28465aafbcb2498790c40d/wardqa-portrait.jpg"> <br> <p><b>Ian Ward:</b> First off, what’s going on with New Jersey?</p> <p><b>Oguzhan Dincer: </b>Well, we have data from the Justice Department from 1976 to the present showing the number of convictions related to corruption. The Justice Department’s definition of corruption is very broad — for instance, if a public employee gets caught snorting cocaine, they also call it corruption — but it still gives us a pretty good picture. They look at the number of convictions, divided by the population to normalize across the states, and you get a decent index to measure corruption in the U.S. And if you look at states like New Jersey or Illinois or Alabama, you see that their levels of corruption are very high in comparison to other states like Minnesota or Vermont. So there’s this sticky nature of corruption in those states.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> How do you explain those differences? What about those states makes them especially prone to corruption?</p> <p><b>Dincer: </b>There are deep determinants and then there are proximate determinants. When it comes to deep determinants, there’s a political scientist named Daniel Elazar who <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/American_Federalism.html?id=PpqGAAAAMAAJ" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695850160357,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000189-31d8-d8b7-a9bb-f7ff620d0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695850160357,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000189-31d8-d8b7-a9bb-f7ff620d0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://books.google.com/books/about/American_Federalism.html?id=PpqGAAAAMAAJ","_id":"0000018a-d88b-de9d-afbf-dbdfd8bd0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"wrote a book","_id":"0000018a-d88b-de9d-afbf-dbdfd8bd0000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">wrote a book</a> in the 1960s that divided the U.S. into different political cultures based on who settled those states in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He created three categories — individualistic, moralistic and traditionalist political cultures — and he defined New Jersey as an individualistic culture. In individualistic political cultures, politics is basically business: People enter politics to advance their own interests. It’s a market arena. So in individualistic states, corruption to a certain degree is expected and accepted. Incidentally, Illinois, New Jersey and New York are all individualistic states, whereas a state like Minnesota is a moralistic state, meaning it has a political culture where people expect government to make the society better.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> What are some of the some of the more proximate determinants?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> The most important one — and this one is related to these political cultures — is voter participation. People generally expect to get rid of corruption by policing only, but you can never get rid of corruption by policing only. Trying a corruption case is extremely difficult and extremely expensive. The easier way is actually to get them out of the office. But if you don't vote, how do you get them out of the office?</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> So the lower the levels of voter participation, the higher levels of corruption?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> Yes — when voter participation goes up, corruption goes down. If you look at the last gubernatorial race in New Jersey in 2021, voter participation was about 40 percent, and in the last midterm elections it wasn’t much better. When Rod Blagojevich ran for his second term in Illinois, everybody was complaining about how corrupt he was, and voter participation was only about 40 percent. When more than half of the people don't even bother voting, politicians know it, right? They think, “<i>Hey</i>, <i>I’m invincible.</i>”</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> Is there a connection between voter turnout and the political cultures that you mentioned?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> Yes — like I said, in moralistic cultures, people are more into the governing process. In individualistic cultures, people see politics as dirty, so they want to just stay away from it.</p> <p>There are two other proximate causes that are worth mentioning. One is the involvement of governments in the economy. When government involvement increased, opportunities for <a href="https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/economics/rent-seeking/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"rent seeking","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/economics/rent-seeking/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a870003","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a870004","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">rent seeking</a> increases — and New Jersey is one of the states where government is heavily involved in the economy. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying, “<i>Kill the government</i>.” There is a Nobel Prize-winning economist named Gary Becker, who said that if you want to kill corruption, kill government — but I don’t agree with him. You cannot kill the government, but you can at least manage it. Of course, when you say that, people immediately think of cutting spending on social programs or education, but education and social programs are not a big chunk of government spending. What counts is the infrastructure spending — building roads, building bridges, all those other big spending big items.</p> <p>The other proximate cause that people generally miss is ethnic or racial diversity and segregation. What we observe is that in segregated localities, there is ethnocentric behavior, and ethnocentric behavior leads to corruption. If you look at the two major cities in New Jersey — Newark and Jersey City — they’re two of the most highly segregated cities in the United States. When you have high levels of segregation like that, you don’t just have ethnocentric behavior — you also have one group dominating the others in political arena, so the others have no voice in the political process.</p> <p><b>Ward:</b> Looking at the historical data, are there states that have been able to overcome consistently high levels of corruption?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> No, not really — because corruption is sticky. You have to have a permanent effort to clean it up. When a politician promises, “I’m going to clean up the state” — he can’t, unless he stays in power for three terms. In your first, four-year term, you have no chance. It’s a long-term process. Places don’t become corrupt overnight, but once they become corrupt, it is a lot more difficult to clean them up.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>Could a high-profile case like the Menendez indictment spur demands for reform?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> Generally, it helps in the short term, when people say, “<i>Oh, we don’t want a corrupt blah blah blah”</i> and then they forget about it. And one reason is this: In United States — unlike in places like Turkey or Nigeria — people don’t see that their daily lives are impacted by the corruption in their states. And when they don’t see it, they don’t make it a priority. In fact, though, it’s actually negatively affecting their lives indirectly. Economic growth is lower, poverty is higher — the impact of corruption is everywhere. It’s like dying from 40,000 paper cuts: It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, but in the long term, it’s killing you.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>What role do prosecutions like the one against Sen. Menendez play in tamping down on corruption?</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> Like I said, convicting someone is extremely difficult. You can try with policing to deter people from becoming corrupt, but again, it’s difficult because it’s expensive. Local attorneys are not going to go after these corrupt guys, so who has the resources to do it? The federal government, the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, the state attorneys appointed by the federal government. But state attorneys are also politically ambitious people. One of the most famous state attorneys that we see today is Chris Christie — he was a state attorney, then he became the governor.</p> <p>And how do you become a governor? When you’re a state attorney, you increase your visibility by maximizing your convictions. But to do that, they go after the low hanging fruit, or they go after sensational cases — but you don’t fight corruption that way.</p> <p>The other thing that we observe is because state attorneys are federally appointed, they engage in partisan behavior. So if there is a Democrat in the White House, they go after the Republicans, and if there's a Republican in the White House, they go after the Democrats. It becomes politicized.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>In Menendez’s case, though, it's a Democratic administration going after a Democratic senator.</p> <p><b>Dincer:</b> Well, if something is that obvious, that’s gonna happen. It’s not like they’re always going to stay quiet and try to try to bury things. Sometimes you just can’t help it.</p> <p><b>Ward: </b>Does the Menendez case fit into a standard pattern of corruption?</p> <p><b>Dincer: </b>Of course. Influence peddling is the most common form of corruption among politicians. To me, the Menendez case is not that interesting, because he’s in Washington, D.C. The reason that he actually got caught is because you guys in D.C. are watching him. Everybody’s watching him.<br></p> <br>]]>

Sizzle but no steak.</p> <p>The attacks that landed with the most force had something in common: They were based on opposition research.</p> <p>Opposition researchers — “oppo” to political insiders — provide the kind of information that can make attacks stick to their targets. They pore through a rival candidate’s record and produce a list of perceived vulnerabilities and the facts to back them up. Oppo researchers ply their trade at every level of democracy, from the local school board to the White House. They are often bookish and introverted, but they are also competitive and relentless. An oppo researcher can’t sleep peacefully until she’s unearthed a damaging quote or “smoking gun” video that can give her candidate an edge.</p> <p>Wednesday night, only former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley brought the oppo research receipts.</p> <p>When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for national energy independence, Haley raised his record of opposition to fracking and offshore oil development. When Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) rolled out his federal budget platform, she pointed to his 12-year voting record in Washington.</p> <p>The attack clearly stung. In the closing minutes of the debate, Scott wanted revenge. He charged Haley with wasting tax dollars on new curtains in her United Nations office. Haley saw it coming. “Bring it, Tim,” she smiled and then delivered a counterpunch: The curtains were ordered under the Obama administration.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337959382112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Scott did try to expose Vivek Ramaswamy as a hypocrite, bringing up his record of doing business in China as a pharmaceutical CEO. But Scott’s charge was awkward and hard to follow, and the exchange devolved into cross-talk, prompting DeSantis to suggest the topic wasn’t worth debating. (Haley disagreed, and in a post-debate interview with Fox host Sean Hannity she filled in some of Scott’s gaps, asserting that Ramswamy’s Chinese partners also did business with Hunter Biden.)</p> <p>Former Vice President Mike Pence half-heartedly challenged DeSantis’ fiscal conservatism, pointing out Florida’s budget has grown 30 percent. DeSantis didn’t bother responding.</p> <p>In the first GOP debate, the candidates didn’t leverage oppo at all, relying on one-liners instead. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie dismissed Ramaswamy as “a guy who sounds like ChatGPT,” suggesting the glib businessman and author lacked originality and merely scraped and packaged his platform from the Internet. Christie’s zinger got a laugh, but it didn’t change the momentum of the debate. Ramaswamy simply absorbed the punch with a smile and moved on.</p> <p>Without the heft added by facts, without the nuggets an oppo research unit generates, any impacts from these kinds of attacks are usually short-lived.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337960192112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>For a stark contrast with the GOP oppo research deficit, look no further than the first Democratic presidential primary debate from the 2020 cycle. Then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) chided former Vice President Joe Biden for his vocal opposition to school busing in the 1970s and for waxing nostalgic about his ability at the time to work with some of the Senate’s most ardent segregationists. In the most memorable exchange of the evening — and perhaps of the entire primary debate season — Harris added: “There was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”</p> <p>Biden was unprepared and clearly taken aback. His response was unfocused and ineffective. Harris got a bump in the polls and in online fundraising. She also got noticed by Biden’s aides, who prevailed upon the former vice president to select Harris as his running mate.</p> <p>There has been no similar moment in either of the first two GOP primary debates.</p> <p>One reason Republicans’ attacks on one another aren’t drawing blood is because they aren’t backed by verbatim quotes and clear, memorable illustrations — the bread and butter of oppo research. This may be in part because the candidates have turned responsibility for this work over to various SuperPACs. The justification seems to be that oppo research is a “back office” function best subsidized by SuperPACs with fewer fundraising constraints and bigger budgets. Leaders of Never Back Down, the SuperPAC supporting the candidacy of DeSantis, have been <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/03/desantis-super-pac-ramaswamy-00113836" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"quite public about carving out oppo research","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/03/desantis-super-pac-ramaswamy-00113836","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8c0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8c0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">quite public about carving out oppo research</a> as their territory.</p> <p>But shipping these jobs from a campaign to a SuperPAC comes with risk.<br></p> <br> <p>In my experience, an opposition research team works best when it is tightly integrated into campaign strategy. That’s because an oppo researcher needs to know where the campaign is headed next — which big speeches are on the calendar, when the next digital ad is going to drop. When I ran oppo research for major federal and state candidates, I was joined at the hip to the campaign’s advertising and earned media leadership. That gave me time to assign projects to researchers that might take days or weeks to complete, so the oppo was fully baked when needed.</p> <p>Moreover, when SuperPACs take over oppo, another problem arises: How to share their findings with the candidate campaign, without running afoul of federal campaign laws, which make coordination illegal? This has led to the practice of posting opposition research books in full on the Internet — the term of art is an “oppo dump” — so that it can be miraculously “discovered” by the campaign.</p> <p>In the days leading up to the first Republican primary debate, a political consulting firm working for the DeSantis-affiliated SuperPAC Never Back Down posted online its <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-desantis-documents.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"oppo research report on Ramaswamy","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/17/us/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-desantis-documents.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8c0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8c0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">oppo research report on Ramaswamy</a>. The report, according to some observers, included a “dog whistle” reference to Ramaswamy’s Hindu faith, and was quickly taken down. DeSantis had to distance himself from both the oppo research and the debate strategy memo that accompanied it.</p> <p>Besides the unnecessary distraction, this “oppo dump” gave Ramaswamy a roadmap to the barbs heading his way, allowing him time to prepare. Keeping oppo research in-house allows a campaign to benefit from the element of surprise.</p> <p>As the candidates decamp from the Reagan Library in Simi Valley and start preparing for their next debate in Miami on November 8, they would do well to remember the legendary Reagan speechwriter Kenneth Khachigian. His advice, preserved in the 40th president’s archives, became the oppo researcher’s mantra: “Campaigns are won in the library.”</p>]]>

John Danforth (R-Mo.) says the same thing in <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gop-cant-abide-populism-hawley-pence-republican-conservative-disney-cad705f2" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"a new Wall Street Journal op-ed","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gop-cant-abide-populism-hawley-pence-republican-conservative-disney-cad705f2","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8f0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8f0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">a new Wall Street Journal op-ed</a>. </p> <p>“The future of this party,” Pence said in his speech, “belongs to one or the other, not both.” For his part, Danforth writes, “The traditionally conservative and Trumpian populist wings of the GOP have arrived at the same conclusion: They can no longer coexist in the same party.”</p> <p>I’m an enormous admirer of Pence, and no one can doubt the sincerity and honor of Danforth, but this is too simplistic and runs counter both to the history of conservatism and to its present. </p> <p>One problem with the all-or-nothing formulation is that, based on the current correlation of political forces, it would mean “nothing” for conservatives. Certainly, if this question is being litigated in the 2024 primary, the hope for conservatism — with Trump currently stomping the rest of the field — is not high. </p> <p>But it’s never been an all-or-nothing proposition before. Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush all had broad populist streaks. </p> <p>Consider Reagan, obviously a hero and exemplar for conservatives. In <a href="https://www.reaganfoundation.org/media/358057/reagan-cpac-speech.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"a signature 1977 speech to CPAC","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.reaganfoundation.org/media/358057/reagan-cpac-speech.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8f0004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a8f0005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">a signature 1977 speech to CPAC</a>, he pushed back against the idea that conservatives were “a small group of ideological purists trying to capture a majority.” No, they were “a majority trying to assert its rights against the tyranny of powerful academics, fashionable left-revolutionaries, some economic illiterates who happen to hold elective office and the social engineers who dominate the dialogue and set the format in political and social affairs.”<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/92/c6/23dccd3a4605b33aec16c062dbe7/election-2024-debate-reagan-39436.jpg"> <br> <p>He referred to a New Republican party that “will not be, and cannot, be one limited to the country club-big business image that, for reasons both fair and unfair, it is burdened with today. The New Republican Party I am speaking about is going to have room for the man and the woman in the factories, for the farmer, for the cop on the beat and the millions of Americans who may never have thought of joining our party before, but whose interests coincide with those represented by principled Republicanism. If we are to attract more working men and women of this country, we will do so not by simply ‘making room’ for them, but by making certain they have a say in what goes on in the party.”</p> <p>Reagan’s position on the Panama Canal — “We built it, we paid for it, it’s ours” — was meant to pull emotional strings. He criticized crime, welfare and affirmative action in sometimes harsh terms that shocked polite opinion. He identified with the rising social conservatives, who were, according to their elite critics, the great unwashed of American politics, the way Tea Party activists and Trump enthusiasts would be portrayed decades later. </p> <p>In his book, <i>The Right</i>, Matt Continetti notes that the supply-sider journalist Jude Wanniski predicted a Reagan landslide in 1980 “because he is a conservative populist where Goldwater was a conservative elitist.”</p> <p>Now, of course, Reagan had deep-seated views that ran counter to contemporary populism — he was a dyed-in-the-wool free marketer, who supported free trade and immigration and a vigorous, if prudent, American posture abroad. </p> <p>Needless to say, Trump is much more of a pure populist, but even he wasn’t all or nothing as president. He pursued and achieved a number of significant traditional conservative policy goals, whether tax cuts, deregulation, more exploitation of fossil fuels, destroying a terrorist enemy overseas, withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and appointing conservative justices, among others. </p> <p>On many specific issues, there’s overlap between the two supposedly irreconcilable sides of the Republican Party. There are conservative and populist reasons to disdain and counter the elites who want to impose ESG on companies, who run our system of higher education, who seek to force a green-energy revolution and who were advocates for lockdowns and mandates during the pandemic. </p> <p>Everyone on the right is hostile to the permanent governing apparatus in Washington, D.C., whether they call it the bureaucracy, the administrative state or the deep state. And everyone distrusts the press whether they call it the mainstream media, the legacy media or the corporate media. Those terms can have different nuances of meaning, with the favored populist phrases — deep state and corporate media — having more edge and a greater flavor of anti-elitism. <br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/2a/ef/6773450746639e8d4f1f3ce9abb2/congress-electoral-college-danforth-56444.jpg"> <br> <p>A basic issue in this discussion is how to define populism, which is a nebulous concept. Perhaps the most basic populist idea is that the people should be trusted more than the elites and are better than the elites — something most post-World War II conservatives, certainly those in elective politics, have believed, too. </p> <p>Populism is also simply a mode of politics in a democracy. Success usually requires identifying with the broad mass of the public and having an identity markedly distinct from the governing elite — for instance, both Reagan and George W. Bush were brush-clearing cowboys in their spare time.</p> <p>Danforth says populists stoke an “us v. them” division and contrasts them with Abraham Lincoln, who sought to preserve the Union. </p> <p>The weakness in this contrast is that Lincoln himself had populist appeal — that’s what the branding as a “rail-splitter” was about (in reality, the politically ambitious, upwardly mobile attorney had zero fondness for rail-splitting). And perhaps our most populist president, Andrew Jackson, was a confirmed Unionist. </p> <p>Also, the substantive content of populism changes over time. In Lincoln’s day, support for tariffs and industrial policy — key elements of Lincoln’s policy — constituted elitist economics. Now, of course, the opposite is true. </p> <p>There’s a genuine debate between conservatives and populists over trade, industrial policy, levels of federal spending and foreign affairs. These are consequential questions, but it’s easy to imagine shades-of-gray outcomes in all of these policy debates that fall within or close to the practical Republican consensus over the years. </p> <p>The deeper problem with populism is that its suspicion of elites can curdle into conspiracy theories. Its belief in the importance of the democratic will can express itself in an impatience with constitutional constraints. Its natural combativeness can lead to an effort to find, and create, enemies that knows no bounds.</p> <p>All of which brings us to Donald Trump. Danforth writes, “Populists have relentlessly undermined our Constitution. They have falsely asserted that elections are rigged, that President Biden is illegitimate, and that we should ignore our courts. They have opposed the peaceful transfer of power and encouraged a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol.” <br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/bb/11/9f9d2d6649d18f675dbd573fca2b/election-2024-trump-56969.jpg"> <br> <p>But Ron DeSantis is a populist-inflected Republican who hasn’t, say, encouraged mobs to attack the Capitol. What Danforth is talking about here is the most fervent Trump supporters, which is why his qualifier elsewhere in the piece of “Trumpian populism” is important. </p> <p>It’s possible to favor greater regulation of freight rail — an early legislative priority of the populist Republican senator from Ohio, J.D. Vance — without buying into any of Trump’s lunatic rants on Truth Social.</p> <p>The crux of the matter is that if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, the GOP will have embraced or looked past his unworthy conduct and sentiments that in any other Republican Party would have been considered disqualifying. Mike Pence and John Danforth are right to warn against that and fight to keep it from happening. </p> <p>If Trump wins, his style of politics will be further vindicated in the GOP and lead to yet more imitators. Already, Vivek Ramaswamy has seemed to go out of his way to make people think he believes in conspiracy theories in order to gain street cred, and the performative outlandishness of Arizona’s Kari Lake has made her a political celebrity.</p> <p>The stakes are indeed large, even if this isn’t really a fight between conservatism and populism.</p>]]>

But it won’t cause a run on the banks or shake the financial system. It will not cause disruptions in the payment of Social Security or Medicare benefits.</p> <p>That’s because Congress has given scores of government agencies power to independently finance themselves, reasoning that their functions are too important to be left to the uncertainties of the annual appropriations process.</p> <p>But now, the constitutionality of independent agency funding is at risk in a case pending before the Supreme Court. The opinion could lead to a sea change in how essential government agencies function — and to potential chaos every time Congress engages in brinkmanship over funding.</p> <p>In the case, known as <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/consumer-financial-protection-bureau-v-community-financial-services-association-of-america-limited/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<i>CFSA v. CFPB</i>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/consumer-financial-protection-bureau-v-community-financial-services-association-of-america-limited/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a920000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a920001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><i>CFSA v. CFPB</i></a>, the Community Financial Services Association is seeking to block the enforcement of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules designed to protect consumers against abusive payday loans. The CFSA is arguing that Congress violated the Constitution’s appropriations clause when it granted the CFPB a portion of the Federal Reserve’s operating budget.</p> <p>The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found for the CFSA, using sweeping language suggesting that only moneys appropriated through the annual Congressional process are legal. The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on Oct. 3.</p> <p>If the Court sides with the Fifth Circuit, the implications are vast.</p> <p>Essential government agencies and programs, including Social Security and Medicare, both of which are administered by independently funded bodies, would see their sources of independent funding vulnerable to challenge. The Federal Reserve, responsible for monetary policy and our payments system, would be particularly at risk, given that it runs on fees and profits from its market operations just like the CFPB. The budgets of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, responsible for regulating the nation’s largest banks, and the Federal Housing Finance Administration, responsible for overseeing housing finance, are also independent, coming from funds paid by the entities they regulate.</p> <p>Requiring these agencies to seek direct Congressional approval for money to function would be particularly dangerous in times of crisis.</p> <p>When I chaired the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation during the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, we had to ramp up our funding quickly to protect Main Street bank depositors. We were able to do so because Congress had long given the FDIC authority to set and fund its own budget through deposit insurance premiums paid by banks. Without that ability, people could have suffered delayed access to their insured deposit accounts as their failed banks shuttered until Congress saw fit to fund the agency.</p> <p>Independently funded agencies like the FDIC don’t have unfettered authority to spend wildly. Congress sets various limits and parameters, including for the CFPB. The agencies are subject to continuous oversight by their congressional authorizing committees. And Congress can, of course, at any time, change or limit their self-financing authority, as it sees fit.</p> <p>Congress chose to fund these agencies outside the normal appropriations process because this ensures they have a reliable, stable funding source no matter the vicissitudes of the legislature or powerful monied constituencies.</p> <p>Imagine the disfunction if the Fed’s budget could be held hostage to congressional dissatisfaction over interest rate policy, or if a member of Congress unhappy about a failed bank in his district could try to block the FDIC’s budget. Individual agency budgets could be put at risk by disgruntled politicians or lobbying interests.</p> <p>But even beyond the potential cascading effects of the decision on other agencies, the CFPB itself also needs reliable, stable funding.</p> <p>In the years leading up to the financial crisis, industry lobbying blocked state and federal legislative efforts to strengthen mortgage lending standards. Millions of mortgages were made to borrowers who had no hope of repaying them. Resulting defaults and foreclosures wreaked havoc on our economy.</p> <p>Congress created the CFPB in 2010 and insulated it from political and industry interference in carrying out its consumer protection mandate in order to stop the kind of reckless lending that led to the financial crisis. And it worked. Today, the CFPB is a big reason why there is very little distress in mortgage finance, even as other sectors of our financial system are under pressure.</p> <p>People of good will can differ on its funding structure. (I had strongly supported the CFPB but thought its funding should come from more traditional regulatory assessments.) But that’s a policy issue for Congress to decide, not the Supreme Court.</p> <p>The appropriations clause of the Constitution directs that no money be disbursed except by Act of Congress. It says nothing about the nature of those acts or annual appropriations. It says nothing about the duration of approved funding, except for the military where it prohibits appropriations longer than two years. It clearly vests with Congress authority over spending to support government functions. It allows the kind of protections that help Americans’ lives to continue to run smoothly, even when Congress isn’t.</p> <p>The Supreme Court should respect Congress’ decision about CFPB funding and do the conservative thing. Reverse the 5<sup>th</sup> Circuit and let Congress’ decision stand.<br></p> <br>]]>

With the exception of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, all the men donned the former president’s uniform of a navy worsted suit, a white spread-collar shirt and the signature, power-red tie. </p> <p>It was a not-so-subtle indication of just how Trumpified the GOP has become. (Sure, many Republicans wear red ties, but the variety has really taken a nosedive since the rise of MAGA.) It was also a reminder that fashion can send powerful political messages.<b> </b></p> <p>Ever since the first televised presidential debate — when Richard Nixon’s mid-gray suit faded into the background of black-and-white TV screens, while John F. Kennedy’s dark worsted suit cut a winning silhouette — politicians have paid special attention to how their clothes make them look on-screen.</p> <p>But some haven’t paid quite as much attention as others. Here’s everything the candidates got right — and what they desperately need to improve — to pop on the debate stage like President Kennedy did:<b> </b></p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Ron DeSantis Dressed Better Than Ever</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/19/2a/d106808e4c8a94253836c775573a/election-2024-debate-71801.jpg"> <br> <p>DeSantis looked better than usual on the debate stage. His suit was classically proportioned: The lapel ended about halfway between the collar and the shoulder joint, the tie echoed the width of the lapel, and the points of the shirt collar were long enough to neatly tuck underneath the jacket. The gorge, which is the tailoring term for the seam that connects the jacket’s collar to the lapel, was also positioned in such a way that the lapel’s notch sat roughly horizontally with the shirt collar. These proportions made for a classic look, and when historians look back on this debate, DeSantis’ outfit won’t look too out of touch. There is one way DeSantis could brush up his look: Because he has a somewhat stocky build, much of his tailoring would benefit from having a slightly lower buttoning point, which would lengthen the lapel line and give him a more elongated silhouette.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Vivek Ramaswamy Dressed Just Like DeSantis</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/57/c3/b5c51af1481db8406d42070e22aa/election-2024-debate-58361.jpg"> <br> <p><br>At the first debate, Ramaswamy was plagued by a bad collar gap — the tailoring term for when the jacket’s collar floats away from the neck. In the second debate, he still could have tightened his collar a bit, but he looked better than some of the other male candidates fighting with floating jacket collars. Much like DeSantis, Ramaswamy’s suit featured good proportions: a lapel that ends about halfway from the collar to the shoulder, a tie that echoed the lapel width and a shirt with collar points long enough to neatly hide under the jacket’s lapels. In this way, the suit framed his face nicely. Unfortunately for Ramaswamy, DeSantis wore almost the exact same outfit, but better. He might have struck a better chord by going with a different tie and standing out as his own person.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center"></h3> <h3 style="text-align: center">Nikki Haley Looked Patriotic</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/e9/ab/a0441a5145ada9bf65e8cbd20193/election-2024-debate-95280.jpg"> <br> <p>Although I’m a menswear writer, and not a womenswear expert, I’ll say that Haley’s presentation looked well tailored. During the first debate, she went with a sparkling white dress — famously the color of the women’s suffrage movement. In the second debate, she wore a deep red dress made from a satin-like fabric. Time will tell if she decides on blue for the third debate — a move that Hillary Clinton made during the 2016 debates, signaling her patriotism. You can see the hallmarks of good tailoring: Her clothes moved with her, not against her, unlike some of the male candidates tonight. The somewhat lustrous fabric gave her a stronger presence on stage. But one wonders if her outfit would have supported her more as a speaker, rather than taking attention away from her message, if it were made from something more matte.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Doug Burgum Nailed the Classic Silhouette</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/29/87/5003875d47f895f4f4ac8676d4e1/election-2024-debate-13704.jpg"> <br> <p>Burgum’s outfit tonight was similar to Ramaswamy’s, which is to say that he nailed many of the proportions of a classic silhouette. Unfortunately, he suffered from a bad collar gap whenever he moved. The coat’s sleeves also looked poorly tailored, such that they rode up on his arms, revealing more shirt cuff than they should have. A small point that will perhaps go unnoticed by most viewers: While Ramaswamy wore a half-Windsor knot tonight, Burgum wore a four-in-hand. The fights between supporters of these two knots are almost as fierce as tonight’s primary debate.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Chris Christie’s Mauve Tie Refuted Trump</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/8c/d8/ab82d90741c4ac4aa2b54b60950d/election-2024-debate-65216.jpg"> <br> <p>Once again, Christie was one of the few male candidates who didn’t look like a simulacrum of Trump. Tonight he wore a patterned mauve tie with a poplin button-down — a professional look with a hint of American conservatism that doesn’t try to follow in Trump’s footsteps. Like many of the other candidates, Christie’s suit suffered from a collar gap. A visit to a good custom tailor would have fixed this. There was also a glint of something in his jacket’s breast pocket — possibly eyewear — which was a tad distracting.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Mike Pence Was Drowning in His Jacket</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/3d/21/547b38fb4f5e92ad418e06ab59e6/election-2024-debate-99597.jpg"> <br> <p>Pence is known for wearing a slightly extended shoulder, which, on some men, can lend a more flattering proportion. But in Pence’s case, it makes his jackets look too big on him (even his dress shirt collar tonight looked too large for his neck). Tonight, the slightly narrower lapel left a lot of open space between the end of the lapel and the shoulder joint, emphasizing the broadness of the chest. As a whole, his coat looked like it was swallowing him. His tailoring could be improved by wearing a slightly narrower shoulder and a more classically proportioned lapel. And while a few of the male candidates wore solid red ties — Trump’s signature move — it was particularly striking on Pence, who would seem to have more of an incentive than most to move out of the former president’s shadow.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center">Nice Tie, Tim Scott, But Fix Your Collar</h3> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/07/2a/b8fbe49c485b874213e55507d9d4/election-2024-debate-60816.jpg"> <br> <p>Most of the candidates wore dark-colored outfits fit for a conservative occasion. But this sort of ensemble leaves little room for expression. Scott successfully went for something bolder, choosing a striped tie that combined blue and red — much like Reagan’s tie in this <a href="https://www.whitehousehistory.org/photos/ronald-reagan" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"1991 portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.whitehousehistory.org/photos/ronald-reagan","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a970000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a970001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">1991 portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler</a>.</p> <p>However, Scott’s coat could have been improved. Whenever he moved one of his arms, the opposing lapel buckled away from the chest. A well-tailored jacket should have lapels that sit relatively flat on your body, even as you move. Scott’s shirt collar was also too small for this suit. These stingy collars come out of early 2000s menswear trends, when designers shrank the male silhouette: a short suit jacket, narrower shoulder and razor-thin lapel. It looked out of place on the debate stage.</p> <p>One thing’s for sure: On the stage at the Reagan Library, nobody could rival the Gipper on style.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6331580324112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br>]]>

The three-toed sloth, which favors slow motion. The echidna, which would lose a race against a continental plate. The nurse shark, which is so lazy it relies on ocean currents to aerate its gills. And then there is Australia’s pygmy blue-tongue lizard, which “hunts” by lounging by its burrow hole in hopes that an insect or spider will stride by.</p> <p>In recent weeks, Trump has come to resemble these kings of lethargy, slowing his campaign to the speed of the hour hand.

Instead of fighting for votes, Trump people have worked the nomination process to make sure that rules that reward delegates tip his way. Where he can’t raise money, he tries to persuade potential donors not to give to his foes.

This is like a manager trying to get the umps to call a ball game in his favor in the fourth inning just because his team is leading 5-0 and, on top of that, saying his lead makes him deserving of the World Series trophy, too. It’s a minor reprise of Trump’s behavior on election night 2020 when he declared himself the winner before all the votes had been counted or any of the networks had projected a winner. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/16/politics/fact-check-trump-officials-testimony-debunking-election-lies/index.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"“Our election was over at 10 o’clock in the evening,” he said","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/16/politics/fact-check-trump-officials-testimony-debunking-election-lies/index.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a9c000a","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14a9c000b","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">“Our election was over at 10 o’clock in the evening,” he said</a>.

It doesn’t take a zoologist to appreciate that the world doesn’t stop when a bear hibernates.

Back in 2003 as press secretary for Democratic Gov. Jim McGreevey, he pushed back against Menendez’s favored candidate for the state Supreme Court, fellow Cuban Zulima Farber. Menendez, then a U.S. representative, deridingly called the governor’s office <a href="http://www.jerseycityonline.com/politics/hcdo_with_mcgreevey.htm" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"“amateur hour”","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"http://www.jerseycityonline.com/politics/hcdo_with_mcgreevey.htm","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa10002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa10003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">“amateur hour”</a> in the press because McGreevey did not put her on the bench, and he wanted to know why. So Rasmussen explained: Farber had a poor driving record that included unpaid parking tickets.</p> <p>Menendez was unsparing in his response.</p> <p>“He called for my resignation and he wanted me fired because I dared to fight back on behalf of my boss,” Rasmussen, now the director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, said in an interview. “To me it indicates he can hit you but you’re not allowed to hit him.” </p> <p>Menendez seems to still believe he’s wrapped in Teflon, insisting in a press event Monday that he’s not resigning his Senate seat after being indicted for the second time on bribery charges. </p> <p>But his remarkable half-century run in politics looks all but finished after a young, straitlaced prosecutor matter-of-factly laid out the depth of his latest alleged corruption on Friday.</p> <p>The accusations were so egregious, and showed such a staggering pattern of venality, that loyal Democrats who lavished praise and donations on him for years, even as he faced previous corruption charges, had no choice but to jump ship. By 5 p.m. Friday, Gov. Phil Murphy called for Menendez’s immediate resignation, and many others followed. By Saturday morning, another fellow Democrat, Rep. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/25648" data-person-id="25648" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695762768484,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000182-cb51-d7cf-a983-cbd5b1dc0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695762768484,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000182-cb51-d7cf-a983-cbd5b1dc0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"25648\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/25648\",\"preferredName\":\"Rep.

He unleashed a lengthy and defiant statement Friday suggesting he is a political target and that his ethnicity is a motivating factor. He did so again Monday in his native Union City, saying that “prosecutors get it wrong. Sadly, I know that.” <br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337805961112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Menendez’s response offers a window on an operating style that made him an extraordinarily powerful politician, one with papal status back home in the Garden State: Walk with a chip on your shoulder, attack your opponents, never back down. He’s simply hard-wired differently. Most people who escaped prison through a hung jury might think twice before jaywalking. Menendez instead threatened his opponents right after the mistrial, won another term a year later and, several people who know him said after Friday’s indictment, seemed emboldened by it all. </p> <p>But there was one strikingly notable difference when he stood before dozens of reporters Monday insisting he’ll prove his innocence and remain in office. He didn’t have his friend and fellow senator Cory Booker there (and Booker would call for Menendez’s resignation Tuesday). He didn’t have Gov. Phil Murphy there. He didn’t have a single person of statewide influence at his side. All he had was a partial response to the indictment and the familiar offensive tactic that his opponents “see a political opportunity for themselves.” </p> <p>“That worked for him as long as he got away with it, and he got away with it for a long time,” Rasmussen said. “Now all of a sudden that’s not working for him anymore, and that’s what happens to a bully.” <br></p> <br> <p><b>In Hudson County,</b> where Menendez grew up, politics is famously a blood sport ruled by bosses. Just east of Union City, in Weehawken, Aaron Burr fatally shot Alexander Hamilton in a duel. A few blocks south is where Jersey City Mayor Frank “I am the law” Hague infamously reigned for more than three decades. In Union City alone — 1.3 square miles of concrete and pavement in the shadow of Manhattan — two consecutive mayors were convicted of corruption and for many years it was a mob outpost. </p> <p>The son of Cuban immigrants raised in a tenement in the notoriously ethics-challenged county, Menendez made his name early as a young Union City school board member who turned on his mentor — the city’s mayor — and wore a bulletproof vest to court to testify against him. The vest was no dramatic flourish. Menendez had not only turned on former Union City Mayor William Musto, but essentially the city government and mob bosses, alleging public corruption (Musto was convicted of racketeering but won reelection a day <i>after </i>being sentenced to prison; his immediate successor, Robert Botti, was convicted and sentenced in a bid-rigging scheme.) </p> <p>"I didn't need anyone to tell me to protect myself," Menendez has <a href="https://www.nj.com/news/2017/11/bulletproof_bob_how_menendez_has_survived_years_of_corruption_allegations.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"reportedly said","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.nj.com/news/2017/11/bulletproof_bob_how_menendez_has_survived_years_of_corruption_allegations.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa20000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa20001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">reportedly said</a>.</p> <p>Menendez may have feared for his life then, but it had only just begun politically.</p> <p>Menendez gained local clout as mayor and became a sort of folk hero at home once he moved on to the state Capitol in Trenton, where he was a representative, and then to Washington, D.C. For the last 17 years, he has served as an immensely powerful senator. He became known as an effective legislator who mastered constituent services. Even as the powerful chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — where he dealt with dictators and globally consequential matters like Iranian nuclear deals — Menendez recognized the power of local retail politics. On just one day in August, for example, he held a press conference on funding for a new hospital program, held a round table with farmers and appeared with families of drug overdose victims to push legislation to crack down on fentanyl. </p> <p>“If you ever followed Bob Menendez in any of the parades … the guy is the pope,” said one Democratic official close to the meeting among Murphy and state leaders following the indictment. “People are coming up to him, taking pictures, hugging him. People just see him as what their children can become.” </p> <p>Sure, he’d gathered clouds of corruption the higher he rose, and even stood trial on charges of bribery in 2017. But that ended in a hung jury and Menendez pushed a Trumpian narrative that his political opponents were after him. Walking scot-free from a corruption trial on a technicality cost him exactly zero political capital. In fact, New Jersey’s Democratic machinery quickly rallied around him for a reelection bid he’d win a year later. As one North Jersey operative put it, Menendez’s continued involvement in Hudson County politics made him both a powerful senator and de facto county boss. </p> <p>“He was able to raise money, he had deep reach, he could back up threats that he made. So that obviously extended the length of his influence and power,” the operative said. </p> <p>And in perhaps the clearest example of his sustained influence after the trial, Menendez effectively installed his son, Rob Menendez, a lawyer with no political experience, in Congress with no opposition and the full backing of state party leaders. </p> <p>The killer instinct that made Menendez one of the most powerful and enduring politicians in a notoriously cutthroat state has never been far from the surface. In what has become a famous example of Jersey’s vindictive brand of politics, Menendez stood outside the federal courthouse in Newark after his 2017 mistrial and <a href="https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2017/11/16/menendez-settles-score-before-reelection-campiagn-116825" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"issued a warning","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2017/11/16/menendez-settles-score-before-reelection-campiagn-116825","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa20002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa20003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">issued a warning</a> to his rivals. </p> <p>“To those who were digging my political grave so they could jump into my seat,” he said, “I know who you are and I won’t forget you.” </p> <p>Menendez won another six-year term in 2018. Prosecutors allege that year is exactly when he started trading on his influence. Between 2018 and 2022, he allegedly accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of bribes — in gold, cash, a Mercedes-Benz and mortgage payments for his wife — from three New Jersey businesspeople. </p> <p>His “corrupt arrangement” included providing “sensitive, non-public U.S. government information to Egyptian officials,” secretly aiding the Egyptian government and helping one New Jersey company gain a monopoly on the export of certified halal meat to Egypt, which led to increased costs of meat suppliers and “was detrimental to U.S. interests,” federal authorities said. </p> <p>Simply being indicted a second time is, perhaps surprisingly, not the sole reason Menendez’s political career is now believed to be in its terminal stage. Timing is one element. Menendez was first indicted in 2015 and stood a two-month trial that ended in November 2017 — a year before his next election, giving him in effect a clean bill of political health on the trail. <br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337806603112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>This time he faces the prospect of waiting for trial as he seeks reelection in 2024, and the Democratic Party will hardly want to pour money and resources into what would otherwise be a safe seat in a presidential election year. </p> <p>“All it would take is someone with half a profile and he’d lose,” the North Jersey operative said. “The reality is that he’s done as a United States senator.” </p> <p>Another reason for that is the case itself. Whereas prosecutors struggled in 2017 to cleanly connect dots between campaign finance donations, luxury trips and official favors for a friend, they have now unveiled a set of allegations that is instantly relatable to anyone who’s watched “The Sopranos.” </p> <p>“If you presented somebody with a movie script and said part of the story was we’d trade gold bars and cash and track it with DNA, and then we’re going to find the cash…you’d say we’ve got to edit that out of the script because it’s not believable,” said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who has a frosty relationship with Menendez and who is running for governor in 2025. “The only people that deal in gold bars are cartoon villains.” </p> <p>Former Democratic Sen. Bob Torricelli, who considered running for Menendez’s seat if he were convicted in 2017 — and who was likely one of the intended targets of Menendez’s courthouse threat — said the crimes Menendez is accused of committing may stand out well beyond New Jersey. He would know better than most: He ended his Senate reelection campaign in 2002 amid pressure for ethics violations. </p> <p>“There are always indiscretions in politics, as there are in any profession,” he said. “This is not only atypical of the United States Congress, it is unprecedented. It is unprecedented not only in this Congress, but in all Congresses that I’ve ever known and all that preceded us.”</p> <p>Barring another mistrial or some legal clearance of Menendez’s conduct, the fairytale of the American ideal he built his career on may only be a footnote to the darker story the world is about to watch unfold in a Manhattan courtroom. </p> <p>“It’s over. He’s not even in hospice,” a longtime Democratic operative who knows Menendez well said. “The priest is there. It’s just looking at the clock to get to last rites.”<br></p> <br>]]>

Regardless of his legal fortunes, he’s not going to be renominated next year. But what about the remainder of this term? If history is an indication, that is entirely up to his colleagues in the Senate.</p> <p>The Senate has not expelled a member of its body since 1862, during the Civil War. In modern times, only the <i>threat</i> of expulsion has compelled Senators to resign, rather than face the indignity of seeing their colleagues toss them out by vote. Several of those historical examples suggest that it’s possible for Senate Democrats to unhinge Menendez from his seat, but it won’t necessarily happen quickly.</p> <p>No example proves this point better than the case of Harrison “Pete” Williams, the disgraced New Jersey politician who was convicted of crimes related to the famous ABSCAM case. Ironically, Bob Menendez currently fills the same seat that Williams ultimately resigned.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337645677112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <br> <p><b>Between 1978 and 1980</b> the FBI conducted a sting operation in which agents posed as Arab businessmen and offered cash bribes to 31 elected officials. Ultimately, one senator and six House members took the bait. </p> <p>Williams, a four-term Senator and leading liberal in Congress, was the highest-ranking official to go down. In a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1981/05/02/nyregion/williams-is-guilty-on-all-nine-counts-in-abscam-inquiry.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"bizarre and intricate scheme","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.nytimes.com/1981/05/02/nyregion/williams-is-guilty-on-all-nine-counts-in-abscam-inquiry.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa80000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa80001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">bizarre and intricate scheme</a>, he agreed to help an undercover FBI agent posing as an Arab sheik to resolve hurdles in his U.S. immigration process in return for the sheik and his friends making a $100 million cash infusion in a mining business in which Williams held a secret 18 percent stake. Williams and his associates would then sell their interest to a <i>second</i> group of (fake) businessmen at a $70 million profit.</p> <p>The parallels between the Williams and Menendez cases are striking. While Williams never had the opportunity to stash cash and gold in his home — after all, there was no deal to be had; it was a sting — both men were alleged to have funneled foreign payments through real companies (in the Menendez case, through a halal meat enterprise; in Williams’ case, a mining operation). Both men also allegedly turned their corruption into a family enterprise. Where Menendez’s wife has been indicted alongside her husband, FBI tapes showed that Williams boasted to undercover agents of an earlier scheme in which he pressured the state’s casino authorities to approve a deal that benefited a company that employed his wife in a low- or no-show job. </p> <p>ABSCAM was somewhat controversial. Lawyers for the defense argued it was a classic case of entrapment, and in the case of Williams, there was something to the argument. During an initial encounter with the undercover agents, Williams seemed to demur. It took several months to get him on board. But once on board, he exhibited little compunction about profiting from his office and boasted frequently to agents of his past criminality. </p> <p>When federal prosecutors indicted Williams in 1980, the Democratic-controlled Senate launched and then promptly suspended an official investigation, on the premise that such a parallel procedure would prejudice his criminal trial. But in May 1981, when a federal jury returned guilty verdicts on all counts, the Senate, now in Republican control, opened hearings. It took roughly three months for the Ethics Committee to vote unanimously for a resolution to expel Williams, and over the course of the year, Williams, who was appealing his conviction, tangled with his colleagues in federal court over their right to expel him and the proper scope of a full Senate trial. </p> <p>It didn’t help his case that he was unrepentant. To his dying day, Williams would claim he was convicted of a “dishonest crime,” meaning he was entrapped, because “somebody else creates the situation for which you are convicted.”</p> <p>When one of Williams’ defenders, Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, recommended that the body censure, rather than expel their colleague, arguing that expulsion had traditionally been reserved for cases of treason and insurrection, his Democratic colleague, Thomas Eagleton of Missouri, answered in disgust: “If non-treasonous behavior be the sole benchmark of fitness to serve in this body, then one must ask how fit is this body in which we serve?” Eagleton emerged as one of Williams’ most vocal critics and argued that if the convicted politician wouldn’t do them the dignity of vacating his seat, “we should not perpetrate our own disgrace by asking him to stay.”</p> <p>Ultimately, Williams ran down the clock. Only when his appeals were rejected in late 1981 and <i>only</i> when it became clear that the Senate would expel him on a bipartisan basis, did he relent. In March 1982 — more than two years after his initial indictment — he resigned his seat.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337633220112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <br> <p><b>That’s not a story that</b> augurs well for a speedy outcome in the Menendez case. While good money suggests his Senate days are numbered, Menendez is likely to hold on for as long as possible, if for no other reason than to maintain negotiating leverage with prosecutors and to raise money for his defense. He will become an albatross around the necks of fellow New Jersey Democrats and House and Senate colleagues in tough races. His presence in the Senate makes it all the harder for Democrats to build a case against GOP corruption next year. </p> <p>More recent examples don’t suggest a different outcome. In November 1992, multiple women accused Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.) of sexual misconduct. It took almost three years for a long ethics process to unwind — one that did little credit to Packwood or to the Senate. Facing the likelihood of expulsion, in October 1995, Packwood finally resigned. The same was true of Sen. John Ensign, a Nevada Republican who allegedly arranged illegal hush payments and a lobbying job for a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair. It took almost two years after the first revelations of misconduct before Ensign agreed to resign, and again, only because his colleagues seemed prepared to expel him.</p> <p>All of which means, it’s in the Senate Democrats’ hands. They can drag it out, or they can expedite expulsion proceedings and make it clear to Menendez that he can leave quietly out the back door, or they can toss him out the front in full light of day.</p> <p>Everyone deserves their moment in court, but there is a difference between legal and political proceedings. </p> <p>Bob Menendez deserves the opportunity to explain to his colleagues how, on a senator’s salary, he came to possess a Mercedes-Benz C-300 convertible (<a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/us-senator-robert-menendez-his-wife-and-three-new-jersey-businessmen-charged-bribery" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"sticker price, $60,000","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/us-senator-robert-menendez-his-wife-and-three-new-jersey-businessmen-charged-bribery","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa80002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aa80003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">sticker price, $60,000</a>) and $100,000 in gold bars, to say nothing of envelopes of cash bearing the fingerprints of his co-defendants. He should also have the opportunity to explain why he presumably never reported these assets or paid taxes on them. But the Senate doesn’t need to wait for his criminal trial to unfold before initiating its own investigation, and it shouldn’t take months for such a process to play out. There is evidence in abundance that allows for a speedy resolution of his ethics case and a vote on the Senate floor. </p> <p>The modern record suggests that embattled Senators will cling to their seats tenaciously, only until they know the die has been cast. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/51231" data-person-id="51231" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695671044256,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000180-f751-d6b4-a7e5-f7d9bbd30000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695671044256,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000180-f751-d6b4-a7e5-f7d9bbd30000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"51231\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/51231\",\"preferredName\":\"Sen.

After the vote, McCarthy all but taunted his critics to come after his gavel if they wanted to.</p> <p>And their first chance to do that will be Monday night. Multiple House conservatives confirmed in interviews they will begin seriously mulling whether they will try to seize McCarthy’s gavel in the coming days.</p> <p>“I think it is a surrender,” said Rep. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/195970" data-person-id="195970" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1696109600366,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000186-6085-de35-afde-61e715bb0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1696109600366,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000186-6085-de35-afde-61e715bb0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"195970\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/195970\",\"preferredName\":\"Rep.

But McCarthy didn’t unveil his plans to take up the bill until almost 11 hours later, after a choreographed parade of Republicans took the mic during a private 90-minute meeting to argue for exactly his proposal.</p> <p>Dozens of conservatives ended up voting against the bill, which gave in on their two biggest priorities — spending cuts beyond McCarthy's spring debt deal and hard-right border policies. Still, McCarthy wanted the groundswell of support for it to look like an organic move by his members, rather an order down from leadership.</p> <p>Mere hours later, a majority of House Republicans backed the type of shutdown-averting bill that the California Republican had repeatedly sworn was unacceptable. McCarthy's 180-degree turn could soon threaten his speakership, giving conservatives who have threatened to try to eject him plenty of fodder to make their move.</p> <p>“You can’t form a coalition of more Democrats than you have Republicans who you're supposed to be the leader of, and not think that there's going to be serious, serious fallout,” Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) said.

Her replacement will be selected by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). Feinstein already announced she would not run for reelection in 2024, and the race for her seat is already underway. </p> <p>James Sauls, Feinstein's chief of staff, said in a statement that the senator died Thursday night at her home in Washington, D.C. </p> <p>“Her passing is a great loss for so many, from those who loved and cared for her to the people of California that she dedicated her life to serving,” Sauls said in the statement. “Senator Feinstein never backed away from a fight for what was just and right. At the same time, she was always willing to work with anyone, even those she disagreed with, if it meant bettering the lives of Californians or the betterment of our nation.</p> <p>“There are few women who can be called senator, chairman, mayor, wife, mom and grandmother. Senator Feinstein was a force of nature who made an incredible impact on our country and her home state,” he continued. “She left a legacy that is undeniable and extraordinary. There is much to say about who she was and what she did, but for now, we are going to grieve the passing of our beloved boss, mentor and friend.”</p> <p>Feinstein was the first woman elected to the Senate from California in 1992 and became one of the most powerful politicians in the Capitol. As Senate Intelligence Committee chair, she battled with the Obama administration over the classified report on the CIA's torture program following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 — commanding respect from Republicans and Democrats alike.</p> <p>President Joe Biden called Feinstein “a pioneering American and a true trailblazer” in a statement. </p> <p>“Often the only woman in the room, Dianne was a role model for so many Americans — a job she took seriously by mentoring countless public servants, many of whom now serve in my Administration,” Biden said in the statement. “She had an immense impact on younger female leaders for whom she generously opened doors. Dianne was tough, sharp, always prepared, and never pulled a punch, but she was also a kind and loyal friend, and that’s what Jill and I will miss the most.”</p> <p>Feinstein began facing health challenges after winning her fifth full term as a senator in 2018. She stepped down as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee and passed on serving as the Senate pro tempore, a position that would have placed her in the line of presidential succession.</p> <p>After a three-month-long absence from the Senate this year following a shingles diagnosis, Feinstein returned to Washington and kept voting to advance Biden's judicial nominees on the Senate floor. She was often seen getting around Capitol Hill in a wheelchair, and had shown signs of confusion in both hallway interviews and during committee hearings. In August, Feinstein fell in her San Francisco home and went to the hospital for a short time. She voted to advance a critical spending bill on Thursday morning, but missed two votes on Thursday afternoon. </p> <p>"She was one of the most effective legislators in recent memory because of her willingness to work across the aisle in good faith in order to solve complex problems," said Sen. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/192907" data-person-id="192907" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695996663917,"cms.content.updateDate":1695996663917,"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"192907\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/192907\",\"preferredName\":\"Sen.

Ron DeSantis' main pitch for months has been that his record of conservative governance — what he has called the “Florida Blueprint” — would inspire Republican voters.</p> <p>Now his GOP rivals are throwing it back in his face.</p> <p>During Wednesday’s presidential debate, DeSantis frequently defended his record on education, spending, energy policy and access to health insurance — even if some of his opponents’ attacks weren’t completely accurate.</p> <p>The sustained assault on his performance in Florida marks a new moment in DeSantis’s presidential campaign, as emboldened rivals like Nikki Haley and Chris Christie blast away at one of his last remaining pillars of political strength.</p> <p>“They see him bleeding out and they’re trying to get those voters to come their way,” said Jason Cabel Roe, a national Republican consultant unaffiliated with any presidential candidate. “It’s the only thing he’s got left. If you’re with him it’s because of his record.”</p> <p>Not long ago, such attacks would have been unthinkable. During his first five years as governor, DeSantis earned seemingly universal acclaim on the right for his policies in Florida: glowing depictions in conservative media, grudging respect or genuine admiration from peers and competitors in Republican politics.</p> <p>Whatever else happened to DeSantis in the presidential campaign, it seemed, he’d always have Florida.</p> <p>DeSantis began the year far ahead of the GOP pack, trailing Trump by<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":" roughly 13 points in January","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">roughly 13 points in January</a> and exciting donors looking for an alternative to the former president. But DeSantis is now some 40 points behind the frontrunner, and finds himself falling to<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/20/desantis-on-life-support-in-n-h-plummets-in-new-poll-00117273" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":" third place or below in some early-state polls","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/20/desantis-on-life-support-in-n-h-plummets-in-new-poll-00117273","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">third place or below in some early-state polls</a>. Donors are frustrated, and his single-digit opponents sense an opening, which they tried to capitalize on during Wednesday’s faceoff.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6335466541112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>During the first presidential debate held in Milwaukee, his rivals barely mentioned his record as governor. That completely flipped this week as he took on flak from Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and even former Vice President Mike Pence.</p> <p>Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, questioned DeSantis’ stance on energy, including contending that he banned fracking in Florida. (DeSantis advocated for a ban, but it was never enacted.) Pence brought up that spending levels had increased during DeSantis’ tenure and mentioned that Nikolas Cruz, who was convicted of killing 17 people in the Parkland high school mass shooting, was sentenced to life in prison instead of getting the death penalty — suggesting that DeSantis was weak on crime. Pence failed to note that DeSantis was sharply critical of the decision and responded by pushing through a change in Florida’s death penalty law.</p> <p>The Florida governor became a rising conservative star with his stances against Covid-related lockdowns and mandates, but he also got locked into battles over education, including a feud with Disney over the state’s contentious “parental rights in education” bill, known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay,” that banned instruction of gender studies and sexual orientation in lower grades. It’s this track record that DeSantis used as the framework for most of his campaign. </p> <p>Some Republican consultants didn’t find the attack lines effective. <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/538-washington-post-second-republican-debate-poll#:~:text=Taken%20together%2C%20more%20debate%20watchers,%25" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"A 538/Washington Post/Ipsos poll taken immediately","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/538-washington-post-second-republican-debate-poll#:~:text=Taken%20together%2C%20more%20debate%20watchers,%25","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">A 538/Washington Post/Ipsos poll taken immediately</a> found that Republican primary voters who watched it told pollsters that DeSantis had done the best job. But the effort by his opponents reflects an attempt to undercut DeSantis' main selling points to GOP voters.</p> <p>Some Florida Republicans, meanwhile, bristled at the attacks on DeSantis’ record and said it’s not a true reflection of the job he has done as governor. Ryan Petty, whose daughter was killed by Cruz in Parkland, ripped into Pence on social media.</p> <p>“How dare you use the Parkland tragedy as a cheap political hit,” Petty wrote on social media. “You should apologize immediately. Governors don’t pick juries and they don’t force them to vote for justice.”<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6336749459112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Christian Ziegler, the chair of the Republican Party of Florida who has not endorsed anyone in the race, called the attacks in the debate a “typical political tactic” to “find a point or two” to use to criticize DeSantis.</p> <p>“But if you want the full story, all you have to do is look at the domestic migration numbers broken down by state to see that Florida is the #1 state people are moving to,” Ziegler said. “Politics aside, it’s clear that Florida has a strong brand and is the best governed state in the country.”</p> <p>DeSantis’ team also snapped back at Haley, issuing a statement touting his record on insurance policy after Fox News moderator Stuart Varney questioned why Florida has such a high rate of uninsured residents. His campaign also asserted that <a href="https://rondesantis.com/press-releases/desantis-stands-above-the-rest-and-wins-second-gop-primary-debate/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"he won the debate","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://rondesantis.com/press-releases/desantis-stands-above-the-rest-and-wins-second-gop-primary-debate/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80006","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ac80007","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">he won the debate</a> based on the very record that came under attack.

Trump — who boasts of appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned <i>Roe v. Wade</i> — has pivoted to excoriating Florida’s six-week abortion ban, which Desantis signed into law in the near dead of night, and warning such measures could cost Republicans the White House. Trump also has criticized DeSantis’ handling of Florida’s property insurance crisis which has resulted in substantial rate hikes for residents.</p> <p>But for the rest of the field, other issues served as fodder for attacks.</p> <p>“All these candidates have a ton of [opposition research] on DeSantis and figure, might as well get it out now,” said national GOP consultant Alex Conant, who isn’t working for any presidential hopeful. “There’s no strategic reason ‘cause it’s not like he’s a threat to any of them.”</p> <p><i>Ben Lefebvre contributed to this report.</i></p>]]>

The 30-second spot, which featured the former U.N. ambassador vowing at her campaign launch to send China’s government to the “ash heap of history,” was designed to showcase something more relatable: Her fortitude, the super PAC official said.</p> <p>Two months, two debates and $11 million worth of television ads later, Haley is gaining air. She is close to snatching the No. 2 spot in the GOP presidential primary, eclipsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in New Hampshire and her home state of South Carolina, recent polls show. She is drawing a second look from donors following her performance in Wednesday’s debate.</p> <p>And the former governor is doing so on a relatively lean campaign budget, so far leaving all the TV to her aligned super PAC, SFA Fund Inc., and keeping her early state staffing footprint to a minimum.</p> <p>Internally, officials on Haley’s super PAC believe the early bet they made on framing her as a steady figure on the world stage has paid off, and has dovetailed — as planned — with her debate performances. They’re now running a slate of ads zeroing in on her <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/03/nikki-haley-competency-tests-older-pols-00113853" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>calls for competency tests for politicians</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/03/nikki-haley-competency-tests-older-pols-00113853","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14acb0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14acb0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>calls for competency tests for politicians</u></a>.</p> <p>On Thursday, Haley held a sold-out fundraising dinner in Los Angeles, with a $25,000-per-couple ticket price and waiting list to join, according to a campaign aide who was granted anonymity to discuss internal operations. It's part of a trend of donor attention since the first debate. Close to 1,000 new donors who “want to give in more significant ways” have reached out to the campaign, the aide said, while declining to elaborate.</p> <p>“From the very beginning, I talked to donors that were eager for that campaign to kind of come out guns blazing,” said Ozzie Palomo, a Connecticut-based GOP donor.

From a donor perspective, you appreciate that. You have a lot of campaigns out there, they get a large infusion of cash and burn through it very quickly on things that may not necessarily deliver results in the polls and with the electorate.”</p> <p>In a presidential field where no rival to Donald Trump has caught fire, Haley, it would seem, is at least on a slow burn. She remains miles behind Trump, the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination. But in stringing together two widely praised debates, she is inching up in polls and gaining interest from donors. An adviser to Haley noted the close relationships of her circle of longtime consultants, led by strategist Jon Lerner, and credited their history with what appears so far to be the successful implementation of the team’s long-game plan.</p> <p>The campaign’s strategy moving forward, said spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas, is “head down, and doubling down,” continuing to barnstorm the early states of Iowa, where Haley will return on Saturday, as well as New Hampshire and South Carolina. And then there is the next debate. While viewership was down during the second debate, Haley’s team, with its limited resources, has long seen the televised events as key to her rise.</p> <p>“A lot of Americans still don't know who she is,” said Perez-Cubas. “She's still introducing herself.”</p> <p>Haley experienced a modest surge since her first debate performance in Milwaukee, after spending months lingering in the low-single digits following her February launch.

A spokesperson for DeSantis confirmed his team's attendance at the Oct. 13 event, while Haley's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.</p> <p>"There isn't a mainstream megadonor now not looking at Nikki," said one major donor to Haley granted anonymity to discuss the dynamics of the race. "They may not all be on board yet. But they are giving her a serious look and are starting to engage in one way or the other."<br></p> <br> <p><br>It isn’t just donors noticing Haley, but also Trump, who appeared after Wednesday’s debate to see her clearly in the rearview mirror. While Trump’s social media rapid response team focused on attacking DeSantis and Chris Christie throughout the debate Wednesday — and Trump himself took aim at Christie afterward in his own post on Truth Social — his campaign sent out a press release during the debate about just one candidate: Haley.</p> <p>“I mean, she's obviously leapfrogging DeSantis,” said a senior Trump adviser, granted anonymity to discuss the Trump campaign’s decision-making. “And it says more about him than it does about her."</p> <p>Still, on Friday, Trump once again took aim at Haley and her promise to not launch a bid for president if Trump ran, writing on Truth Social: “MAGA, or I, will never go for Birdbrain Nikki Haley. No loyalty, plenty of lies!”</p> <p>Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, in an interview dismissed Haley and the rest of the field of Republican rivals and the debate as a “sideshow,” while criticizing Trump’s opponents as being beholden to big donors.</p> <p>“I love it — they all talk tough on China, but then they'll take the Club for China Growth’s money,” LaCivita said. “People like politicians that are loyal. Nikki Haley is anything but, and that matters to Republican primary voters.”</p> <p>Haley was among the Republican presidential hopefuls who attended a February donor retreat hosted by the conservative Club for Growth, which did not invite Trump. That group and another conservative organization, Americans for Prosperity, have each said they intend to support a Republican to oppose Trump in the primary, but have yet to put their weight behind any one candidate. So far, the groups have stuck to funding advertisements urging Republicans to move on from the former president.</p>]]>

He was “missing in action,” DeSantis said. Christie labeled him “Donald Duck,” which fell about as flat as you might expect.</p> <p>But if neither jab was likely to put a scratch on the frontrunner, what they <i>did</i> reveal was something more significant: the tacit recognition by Trump’s rivals that his absence from the debate stage is damaging them, relegating their primary debates to a series of confrontations at the “kiddie table.”</p> <p>For whole stretches Wednesday, they acted like it. Moderators struggled to keep control of the stage as low-polling candidates talked over one another. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/151800" data-person-id="151800" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695875418252,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695875418252,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"151800\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/151800\",\"preferredName\":\"Sen.

So did Nikki Haley, who also tore into DeSantis. At one point, moderators threatened to cut Doug Burgum’s mic.</p> <p>We asked five POLITICO campaign reporters for their takeaways from the second Republican primary debate of the 2024 campaign.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337962489112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <h2 style="text-align: left">Who had the best night? Who had the worst night?</h2> <h2 style="text-align: left"></h2> <p><b>Natalie Allison: </b>Tim Scott. It was more than an hour into the debate that I realized I could say anyone on stage was <i>actually</i> having a good night, but I would argue he redeemed himself in the eyes of donors — and likely the voters who have been intrigued by him — compared to his last debate performance.</p> <p>Despite a rusty start, when he seemed a bit uncomfortable, Scott eventually made use of the rhetorical trick he has successfully employed on the stump for years: raising his preacher voice. Faced with questions about racial inequality, particularly as it relates to African Americans in this country, Scott is uniquely qualified to answer. And did so in a way that was likely to resonate with many conservatives of faith. “I have been discriminated against, but America is not a racist country,” Scott said. “Frankly the city on the hill needs a brand new leader, and I’m asking for your vote.”</p> <p>What’s more, Scott interrupted folks tonight. In Milwaukee, he faded into the background. Tonight, he went after Ramaswamy, at one point launching an indecipherable couple of minutes where Scott, Ramaswamy and DeSantis (who was trying to get the other two men to stop) were speaking over one another. And he showed no reluctance, when prompted by the moderators, to go after Nikki Haley — something those of us following the South Carolinians have been waiting months to see.</p> <p>Worst night? Poor Burgum. After qualifying at the last minute, he tried his hardest to insert himself into the debate by interrupting. But he got very few questions directed his way — and some scolding when he tried to interject.</p> <p><b>Christopher Cadelago:</b> Scott, no question. In a presidential debate that seemed to have the lowest stakes of any in recent memory, he showed a pulse. And for Scott, that was enough to turn in the most complete and substantive performance of the night. Sure, he benefited from a sleepy showing from DeSantis, who whined early on about Trump not being there and then disappeared for painfully long stretches of time.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/9e/db/91df2c7a4cf481824c18e4fb79cf/20230927-gop-debate-philip-cheung-0042.jpg"> <br> <p>This is the second debate that DeSantis failed to notch anything approaching a memorable moment mixing it up with an opponent on stage, let alone a viral one. Instead, he resorted to scripted and rehearsed riffs, feeding critiques that he can’t think on his feet.</p> <p><b>Sally Goldenberg: </b>After a notably lackluster debate performance last month in Milwaukee, Scott showed up with a new script. He was energetic — repeatedly interjecting himself even if it meant interrupting. He mixed it up with Ramaswamy, Haley and DeSantis, while staying relatively above the fray. At times, he risked undermining his affable persona, but it was a risk worth taking as Scott needs to demonstrate to GOP donors that he’s a reasonable alternative to Trump. On Wednesday, he made progress on that front.</p> <p>Pence, on the other hand, fell flat after a strong showing at the previous debate. He didn’t stand out, he stumbled over some of his answers — leading to awkward pauses — and he was even scolded by a moderator at one point for failing to answer a question on the future of Obamacare. Perhaps most importantly, he didn’t do enough to highlight his bona fides as a religious conservative leader, which should be one of his selling points to the Republican Party.</p> <p><b>Steven Shepard:</b> The best night belonged to Nikki Haley. She showed a willingness to mix it up with anyone, jabbing at Ramaswamy and DeSantis. When moderator Dana Perino tried to tee up a back-and-forth between the two South Carolinians on stage, Scott wouldn’t take the bait.</p> <p>But Haley did. “He’s been there 12 years, and he hasn’t done any of that,” she said, mocking his congressional tenure, including his promotion to the Senate thanks to Haley’s appointment. “Where have you been? Where have you been, Tim?”<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/2b/a4/88bd401a49ae86f830ad71df5b6c/https-delivery-gettyimages.com/downloads/1705171084"> <br> <p>Only then did Scott respond in kind, hitting at Haley’s record as governor. But even then, Haley welcomed the counterattack, goading him: “Bring it, Tim.”</p> <p>I do think Scott did himself some favors Wednesday night — he’s dropped to 2 percent in the national polling average and needed to be more assertive to assure a spot on the next debate stage — but Haley got the better of their exchange.</p> <p>Last month, I said Ramaswamy had the worst night, and I think he followed up with a repeat performance. He conceded that he could be a “bit of a know-it-all,” but that didn’t stop the onslaught from the other candidates on stage. Given his slide in the polls since the first debate, I’m not convinced attacking him is a smart debate strategy. But the other candidates sure do seem to enjoy it, and some of the night’s most memorable moments were the arrows aimed at him.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337959382112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p><b>Adam Wren: </b>Nobody had a great night. But from a strategic perspective, Mike Pence did something smart, attacking two candidates polling ahead of him: DeSantis and Ramaswamy. And the line on Ramaswamy was a zinger: "Let me say I'm glad Vivek pulled out of his business deal in 2018 in China. That must've been the time you decided to start voting in presidential elections.”</p> <p>My biggest loser? Ronald Reagan. Even though I watched a few candidates wander over to his gravesite not far from the media file tent earlier in the day, I was struck by how little candidates namechecked the Gipper even on his home turf (Scott spoke of a “shining city on the hill” and DeSantis mentioned Reagan’s deterrence strategy.) And few candidates seemed to have any problem violating Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican." Haley went so far as to say that every time she heard Ramaswamy speak she felt “a little bit dumber for what you say.” For his part, Ramaswamy was a bit of a corrective here, implicitly referring to Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment, appealing to the spirit of that edict several times, acknowledging that those on stage were “good people.”</p> <h2 style="text-align: left">What surprised you the most during the debate?</h2> <h2 style="text-align: left"></h2> <p><b>Cadelago: </b>Ramaswamy, after serving as a kind of super-troll and wild puncher on stage in the first debate, was anything but in the second. Ramaswamy at the start of the evening seemed to go to great lengths to pronounce himself largely in agreement with Scott on striking unions and holding President Joe Biden accountable for the situation. A few minutes later, Ramaswamy contended that the majority of reasonable people were in agreement about where the country needs to go. “These are good people on this stage,” he emphasized.</p> <p>Even as he sustained hits, at one point prompting him to interject that he ended all his business in China, it was a very different Ramaswamy, one who seemed to swill fewer pots of coffee before he stepped on stage in Simi Valley. He wasn’t even provoked by Haley saying she gets “dumber” each time she hears him speak. That’s restraint. And the kind of approach a young man might take to maybe, possibly, land a Cabinet post.</p> <p><b>Allison:</b> I agree with Chris. I was surprised at the debate in August when Ramaswamy portrayed himself the way he did, since I’ve seen him for months on the campaign trail pitch himself as a unifier. He and his advisers have clearly realized his original approach was the better branding strategy for him.</p> <p><b>Wren:</b> Add me to the column of people surprised by Ramaswamy. He presented himself as more of a statesman in this debate than the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/24/vivek-ramaswamy-gop-debate-00112752" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695875936097,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695875936097,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/24/vivek-ramaswamy-gop-debate-00112752","_id":"0000018a-da15-dd68-a3cf-dbd527fc0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"“annoying” upstart","_id":"0000018a-da15-dd68-a3cf-dbd527fc0000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">“annoying” upstart</a> some found him to be in the first debate.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/9e/33/1960bd8242f28c7ec90f3f59789b/20230927-gop-debate-philip-cheung-0028.jpg"> <br> <p>Beyond that, I was shocked how virtually none of the candidates laid a glove on Haley, who perhaps most capitalized on her first debate performance in Milwaukee to elevate her position in the field. None of her competitors arrested that momentum tonight.</p> <p><b>Shepard:</b> It did seem like Wednesday night was the first time some of these candidates began to grapple with the fact that they’re so far behind Trump. DeSantis hit Trump twice for skipping the debate, including on abortion. But it’s not clear GOP primary voters are as offended Trump isn’t there.</p> <p><b>Goldenberg:</b> Virtually no candidate on stage seemed to realize they are in an uphill battle against Donald Trump. Aside from a few jabs — DeSantis hitting him for raising the national debt; Christie alleging he was too afraid to show up to the faceoff — the Republican contenders largely avoided the overwhelming frontrunner. It has been their strategy all along, but as Trump’s lead grows, it is surprising they aren’t shifting course.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left">Did anything we saw tonight hurt Donald Trump?</h2> <p><b>Goldenberg:</b> No. If Republican voters are interested in substantive discussions on the economy, the Southern border, urban crime and the war in Ukraine, the candidates on stage offered some detailed policy positions. But this remains the party of Trump, and no one debating tonight did anything to change that. They barely challenged him on the losses he’s cost the GOP — and even when DeSantis raised that point, he did it without naming Trump or saying Trump lost in 2020.</p> <p><b>Cadelago:</b> Not only won’t it hurt Trump, it’s more likely to help him. If Trump made the right strategic call to skip the first debate, he unquestionably made the correct decision tonight by sitting out what amounted to single-A ball with distracted umpires. And if attending future debates is even a question for Trump, nothing that happened on stage in California should give him pause about ditching every one of these until the general election.</p> <p><b>Wren: </b>To mix Christopher’s sports metaphors, this debate felt like a scrum of 5-year-olds chasing a soccer ball around the field as the actual goal — distinguishing themselves from Trump — found itself rather lonesome.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337958971112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p><b>Allison:</b> No. I suppose it is notable that members of Trump’s team once again showed up at a debate he wasn’t participating in (so it isn’t <i>utterly</i> irrelevant in their eyes), and his campaign spent the debate tweeting out unflattering photos of Chris Christie. Trump himself put out a Truth Social post afterward about Christie, while defending his own record. But I don’t see how much of anything said or done tonight could have done any serious damage to Trump’s standing.</p> <p><b>Shepard: </b>There are only two things that can hurt Trump at this point: his legal peril and early-state elections. A criminal conviction or a surprisingly weak performance in Iowa or New Hampshire could actually threaten his lead.</p> <p>But nothing that happened in the first two debates — or any subsequent ones, for that matter — will weaken Trump. What the debates will do is clarify the field of candidates other than Trump, in the event he does become vulnerable.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left">How will this debate change the trajectory of the race?</h2> <p><b>Shepard: </b>The next debate is six weeks away, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Haley is challenging DeSantis for second place by the time the candidates — at this point, almost certainly without Trump — meet again. Does that weaken Trump’s hold over the primary? No, but if this does become a race at some point, it means that DeSantis isn’t necessarily the most likely non-Trump option.</p> <p><b>Allison:</b> Frankly, there was a lack of enthusiasm across the board going into this debate. It felt like nothing more than a placeholder until the next one, when <i>maybe</i> there will be fewer candidates on stage, <i>maybe</i> they will finally get serious about making the case against Trump and <i>maybe</i> Trump himself will show (though that seems even less likely now).</p> <p>Here in beautiful Simi Valley, and in part due to the nature of the venue, there was next to no buzz ahead of time — no massive Ramaswamy gaggles outside his campaign bus like in Milwaukee, for example — and a smaller number of operatives walking around making their pitches to reporters. The candidates themselves only got a small fraction of the debate tickets as last time, just 10 each, according to multiple campaigns, which meant they left a lot of their surrogates behind. It was boring, it was lame. The candidates’ energy on stage left something to be desired. Amateur hour for the moderators.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/e4/b0/5bd06c7c4c798b8a2b31e27ff3f7/20230927-gop-debate-philip-cheung-0001-new.jpg"> <br> <p>There were a few Trump zingers over his failure to show. But there was no meaningful takedown of the former president, and no indication that there will be any meaningful shift in the current field before the third debate.</p> <p><b>Wren: </b>It didn’t. If you’re a donor on the sidelines who watched this debate, I don’t see how you came away willing to throw any of these particular candidates money when so few of them had breakout moments.</p> <p><b>Goldenberg: </b>This debate will not change the trajectory of the race.</p> <p><b>Cadelago: </b>There will be more external and internal pressure on this still-large field to shrink, but doing so will take some candidates admitting to themselves the obvious: they don’t have a chance and should drop out.<br></p> <br>]]>

Mark Milley on Truth Social, saying that the general “turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.”</p> <p>Trump was referring to a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/28/milley-china-congress-hearing-514488" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"phone call Milley took","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/28/milley-china-congress-hearing-514488","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad40008","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad40009","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">phone call Milley took</a> after the Jan. 6 riots to reassure Chinese officials that the United States wasn’t under threat of an attack. Several top Trump appointees were aware of his calls, Milley told Congress later that year.</p> <p>“This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump added in his post.</p> <p>Speaking <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/general-milley-responds-to-trump-social-media-post-60-minutes/" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"with CBS","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/general-milley-responds-to-trump-social-media-post-60-minutes/","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad4000a","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad4000b","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">with CBS</a> Wednesday night, Milley said that he has “adequate safety precautions. I wish those comments had not been made, and I’ll take appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family.”</p> <p>That striking remark from the general, who served closely by Trump’s side after he became Joint Chiefs chair in 2019, hearkens back to when former Vice President Mike Pence’s life was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/25/trump-expressed-support-hanging-pence-capitol-riot-jan-6-00035117" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"seemingly threatened by his boss","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/25/trump-expressed-support-hanging-pence-capitol-riot-jan-6-00035117","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad4000c","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad4000d","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">seemingly threatened by his boss</a> during the storming of the Capitol in 2021.</p> <p>When the comparison was made on CNN this morning, Pence rebuked the former president.</p> <p>“There is no call for that kind of language directed toward someone who's worn the uniform of the United States and served with such distinction,” Pence said.</p> <p>Fresh off the second GOP presidential debate Wednesday night, other candidates also took aim at the frontrunner.</p> <p>Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the most outspoken Trump critic of GOP presidential contenders, had a harsher take, calling Trump an “absolute child” for the “reprehensible” remarks, while speaking on MSNBC this morning.</p> <p>Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson also took aim at the GOP frontrunner.</p> <p>“To suggest that Gen. Milley should be executed is inexcusable and dangerous,” Hutchinson told POLITICO in a statement. “While some will excuse this latest outrage as Trump just being Trump, the fact is that his statement endangers people and is an insult to those who serve in the military.”</p> <p>POLITICO reached out to each of the candidates’ campaigns for comment, but only Hutchinson’s team sent a response. (Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy couldn’t respond because he’s with his family, campaign spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said.)</p> <p>The lack of response from others is indicative of how hesitant many of his opponents are to speak out against him on a regular basis.</p> <p>A Trump campaign spokesperson argued that candidates who do speak out on it are just looking for headlines.</p> <p>“Who are these people? Seems like they're just thirsty for attention,” spokesperson Steven Cheung told POLITICO.</p>]]>

Mark Milley and one of their own newly appointed prosecutors bolster their case to put a gag order on the former president ahead of his trial in Washington, D.C.</p> <p>In a <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24000428/trumpreply.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>22-page filing</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24000428/trumpreply.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad60006","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad60007","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>22-page filing</u></a>, senior assistant special counsel Molly Gaston said prosecutors rejected Trump’s claims that their proposed gag order was an attempt to silence him on the campaign trail. Rather, she said, it was an effort to prevent him from trying to make “use of his candidacy as a cover for making prejudicial public statements about this case.”</p> <p>“[T]here is no legitimate need for the defendant, in the course of his campaign, to attack known witnesses regarding the substance of their anticipated testimony,” Gaston wrote.</p> <p>The filing is prosecutors’ last word to U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ahead of an Oct. 16 hearing on Smith’s proposed gag order. Since their original request, which was unsealed last week, Trump has unleashed a social media attack on Milley — suggesting he should have been put to death for treason — who is expected to be a witness in the case against him.</p> <p>“[N]o other criminal defendant would be permitted to issue public statements insinuating that a known witness in his case should be executed,” Gaston wrote. “This defendant should not be, either.”</p> <p>And after <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/jack-smith-special-counsel-prosecutor-trump-00117736" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>POLITICO revealed</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/22/jack-smith-special-counsel-prosecutor-trump-00117736","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad60008","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad60009","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>POLITICO revealed</u></a> Smith’s appointment of a longtime war crimes prosecutor to his team, Trump uncorked another attack on Smith’s office. Prosecutors cited that attack as a potential danger as well.</p> <p>Prosecutors say that Trump’s attacks are a form of witness intimidation and a way to taint the jury pool ahead of his highly anticipated trial, which Chutkan has scheduled for March 4. The judge has warned Trump to refrain from “inflammatory” comments about the case and suggested she could expedite his trial if they continue. Earlier this week, Chutkan <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/27/politics/tanya-chutkan-donald-trump-recusal-motion/index.html" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"<u>denied Trump’s bid</u>","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/27/politics/tanya-chutkan-donald-trump-recusal-motion/index.html","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad6000a","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad6000b","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}"><u>denied Trump’s bid</u></a> to remove her from the case.</p> <p>Smith’s team also says Trump’s attacks on their office and on the judge herself threaten to taint the upcoming trial or drive up dangerous threats.</p> <p>Prosecutors also sharply rejected efforts by some of Trump’s advisers to explain away some of his statements. They noted that after a Trump aide suggested the former president had purchased a firearm in South Carolina — a potential violation of federal law, since he’s under criminal indictment — his team later walked it back.</p> <p>“The defendant either purchased a gun in violation of the law and his conditions of release, or seeks to benefit from his supporters’ mistaken belief that he did so,” Smith’s team said.</p> <p>Smith’s office also rejected Trump’s argument that the indictment does not formally accuse Trump of having a role in the violence that unfolded on Jan. 6, instead accusing Smith of unfairly linking Trump to the riot in a brief public statement announcing the indictment last month.</p> <p>“[T]he indictment does in fact clearly link the defendant and his actions to the events of January 6,” Gaston wrote. “In short, the indictment alleges that the defendant’s actions, including his campaign of knowingly false claims of election fraud, led to the events of January 6.”</p>]]>

Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, is the first person to reach a plea deal in the case, in which Trump and 18 others were charged with racketeering conspiracy for their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.</p> <p>Hall, 59, who was involved in a breach of election equipment, pleaded guilty Friday in Atlanta to five counts of conspiring to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties. The plea deal included an agreement to a sentence of five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and a letter of apology to the state.</p> <p>Part of the plea deal requires Hall to testify against others at future trials or hearings of “any co-defendants” in the election racketeering case. The felony charges against Hall were dropped as part of the agreement.</p> <p>Trump was not mentioned by name during Hall’s plea hearing, but a Fulton County prosecutor did mention co-defendant and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell as being involved in the alleged scheme to gain access to Dominion voting machines in Coffee County, Ga.</p> <p>Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee indicated that Hall’s plea was scheduled hastily on Friday. A prosecutor said Hall provided a recorded statement about his involvement to the district attorney’s office earlier in the day.</p> <p>“This is not a matter that had been scheduled today, but I was informed by both parties that they would like to have an impromptu court hearing and I understand that this is a change of plea,” McAfee said at the outset of the court session Friday afternoon. During the 25-minute hearing, the judge accepted Hall’s guilty pleas and imposed the sentence of five-years probation agreed on by both sides.</p> <p>Hall <a href="https://www.fultonclerk.org/DocumentCenter/View/2108/CRIMINAL-INDICTMENT" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"was charged","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.fultonclerk.org/DocumentCenter/View/2108/CRIMINAL-INDICTMENT","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad80002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ad80003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">was charged</a> as part of the sweeping racketeering scheme alleged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis against Trump, several of his top aides and a slew of Georgie GOP activists who aided Trump’s bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Hall was identified in the indictment as participating in an effort to access the voting machines and equipment in Coffee County — a post-election bid by Trump allies who were purportedly investigating allegations of voter fraud in hopes of reversing Joe Biden’s victory in the state.</p> <p>Hall was in touch with several of the other alleged co-conspirators around the time of the breach and also had contact with figures in Trump’s orbit. For example, the indictment notes that Hall had a 63-minute phone call with alleged co-conspirator Jeffrey Clark, then the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, on Jan. 2, 2021, to discuss the Georgia election.</p> <p>Under the deal, Hall is forbidden from speaking with the media until all trials related to the case are complete and may not be involved in any activities related to voting. Under Georgia law, he could be left without a criminal record if he successfully completes probation.</p>]]>

Bob Menendez</a> — the gold bars, the shiny convertible, the stacks of cash — the case may ultimately hinge on something far less flashy: the Supreme Court’s increasingly narrow view of the nation’s anti-corruption laws.</p> <p>In recent years, a string of Supreme Court rulings has severely curtailed what counts as public corruption. Now, Menendez is hoping the court’s new legal landscape will help save him.

They appear to have crafted their indictment with an eye toward a key Supreme Court precedent, in which the high court <a href="https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-mcdonnell-19" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"threw out the conviction of former Virginia Gov.

Bob McDonnell</a>. And the office has first-hand experience with another important precedent dictated by the court: the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-1158_p8k0.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"overturned conviction of an aide to former New York Gov.

Andrew Cuomo</a>.</p> <p>“The government’s indictment lays bare remarkable evidence of public corruption,” former federal prosecutor Harry Sandick said of the Menendez case. “The only question for the government to answer is whether these amazing charges fit within the scope of the law of public corruption as the Supreme Court has defined it in recent years. In particular, were these gifts given to Menendez in exchange for ‘official acts,’ which is a narrowly defined term.”</p> <p><br>The high court homed in on “official acts” in 2016 when it invalidated the conviction of McDonnell, a Republican who was accused of taking bribes to promote a tobacco company’s products. And earlier this year, in the case of the Cuomo aide, the court restricted the use of a federal statute that makes it a crime to deprive the public of “honest services.” That statute is among the laws Menendez is accused of violating.<br></p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/9f/c2/99b1fff348c294c052d278a958ce/2023-09-30-mcdonnell-scotus-ap-773.jpg"> <br> <p>Other recent Supreme Court rulings, such as a <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-1059_e2p3.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"2020 decision throwing out the convictions of two people involved in New Jersey’s “Bridgegate” scandal","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-1059_e2p3.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14adb0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14adb0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">2020 decision throwing out the convictions of two people involved in New Jersey’s “Bridgegate” scandal</a>, have followed a similar pattern. The justices have said they are simply applying the text of the public corruption laws and seeking to avoid criminalizing ordinary activity like lobbying. Overzealous prosecutors, the court has suggested in mostly unanimous decisions, have misused those laws to target political wheeling and dealing that may be unsavory but isn’t necessarily unlawful.</p> <p>In the McDonnell ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that only “official acts,” or decisive government actions, such as introducing a piece of legislation or otherwise influencing policy, could be considered part of a corruption scheme. What Roberts described as routine political favors, such as arranging a meeting or making a phone call, could not.</p> <p>The issue for Menendez’s prosecutors is whether the conduct described in the indictment is legally considered “official acts” that he completed in exchange for bribes — or whether it’s more informal activity, similar to the services that elected representatives customarily provide to constituents or political allies outside official channels.</p> <p>Among the steps Menendez allegedly took: contacting an official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture as he sought to preserve the ability of another co-defendant’s company to be the exclusive halal certifier for U.S. food exports to Egypt, contacting a supervisor in the New Jersey attorney general’s office in an attempt to influence two pending criminal matters and urging President Joe Biden to nominate a U.S. attorney in New Jersey whom Menendez believed he could manipulate.</p> <p>Prosecutors said Menendez also conveyed to Egyptian officials, through intermediaries, that “he would approve or remove holds on foreign military financing and sales of military equipment to Egypt” by virtue of his leadership role on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.</p> <p>Prosecutors pursuing Menendez appear to have had the McDonnell decision in mind when crafting the language of the charging documents.</p> <p>In the indictment, prosecutors accuse Menendez of taking bribes in exchange for “a series of official acts and breaches of official duty” and specify that he used his “power and influence” as a senator to perform favors for three businessmen indicted alongside the senator and his wife.</p> <p>In describing Menendez’s contact with the USDA official, for example, prosecutors say he “pressured” the individual — a word drawn from the McDonnell decision, in which Roberts wrote that, “If an official sets up a meeting, hosts an event, or makes a phone call on a question or matter that is or could be pending before another official, that could serve as evidence of an agreement to take an official act.”</p> <p>“A jury could conclude, for example, that the official was attempting to pressure or advise another official on a pending matter,” Roberts wrote. “And if the official agreed to exert that pressure or give that advice in exchange for a thing of value, that would be illegal.”</p> <p>The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office — and Menendez himself — appeared to immediately confront the question of whether his conduct could meet the bar set by the McDonnell decision.</p> <p>“Constituent service is part of any legislator’s job — Sen. Menendez is no different,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams noted when speaking to reporters last week.</p> <p>But, he suggested, Menendez’s behavior went beyond constituent service, pointing out that Menendez detailed on his own Senate website that he wasn’t permitted to compel an agency to act in someone’s favor, influence a private business matter or get involved in a criminal case.</p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/e5/fc/ce18f3f84cccaa84fb4fa09e7b1b/joe-percoco-ap-900.jpg"> <br> <p>“We allege that behind the scenes, Sen. Menendez was doing those things for certain people — the people who were bribing him and his wife,” Williams said.</p> <p>For his part, Menendez said in a statement released hours after his indictment was unsealed: “They have misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office.”</p> <p>Prosecutors also must contend with the decision the Supreme Court handed down this May in the case of Joseph Percoco, a longtime aide to Cuomo who temporarily left his government position to work as the governor’s campaign manager while accepting money to help a New York real-estate developer with a lucrative state project.</p> <p>Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion for the court limited the circumstances in which private citizens can be convicted of depriving the government of “honest services.” In a concurring opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch also suggested that the entire honest-services fraud statute should be thrown out, writing: “To this day, no one knows what ‘honest-services fraud’ encompasses.”</p> <p>Menendez and his four co-defendants, including his wife, are charged with conspiracy to commit honest services fraud. Prosecutors allege they, along with the senator, “devise[d] a scheme and artifice to defraud, and to deprive the public of its intangible right to Robert Menendez’s honest services.”</p> <p>Former federal public corruption prosecutors predicted the Percoco ruling would likely become a focus of pretrial litigation.</p> <p>None of this, however, is likely a surprise for those supervising the Menendez case. The very office that is prosecuting Menendez brought the original case against Percoco, albeit under prior leadership. And the office’s current criminal division chief, Daniel Gitner, represented one of Percoco’s co-defendants when Gitner worked in private practice.</p> <p>The U.S. attorney himself has already dealt with the fallout from the Supreme Court’s narrowing of corruption laws. Williams was a member of the prosecution team that worked on a trial heavily influenced by the McDonnell ruling: the retrial of Sheldon Silver, the once-powerful New York State Assembly speaker who was indicted on federal corruption charges.</p> <p>Silver’s initial conviction, in 2015, was overturned by a federal appeals court as a result of the McDonnell decision, with the appeals court saying the district judge’s explanation of an official action was too broad.</p> <p>Williams helped retry the case in 2018, and another member of that prosecution team, Tatiana Martins, said the Menendez prosecutors — and Williams in particular — surely focused closely on how to proceed successfully in light of the McDonnell ruling.</p> <p>“McDonnell was something we were very sensitive to, so Damian will certainly have read this indictment and signed off on this in a very detailed way,” said Martins, who subsequently became chief of the office’s public corruption unit and is now a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. “I’m sure McDonnell was top of mind for him.”</p> <p>Silver was reconvicted, although that conviction was partially overturned.<br></p>]]>

That determination gutted their attempts to claim they were acting with federal government permission when they took the actions that resulted in their criminal charges.</p> <p>The four Trump allies want to transfer their charges to federal court, where they intend to present evidence that they were carrying out federal responsibilities and are therefore immune from the prosecution brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. But the ruling by Jones, an Obama appointee, underscores a fundamental weakness in that claim: They presented no clear evidence that Trump asked them to take the steps that they took in the final frenzied weeks of his presidency.</p> <p>The rulings represent a golden sombrero for the Trump co-defendants who attempted to move their cases into federal court, part of a broader strategy to neutralize the legal threats they face. In addition to the four defendants whom Jones denied on Friday, the judge earlier this month <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/08/judge-refuses-to-move-prosecution-of-mark-meadows-to-federal-court-00114817" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1696027741710,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000186-eafc-d959-adcf-ebfeb3350005","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1696027741710,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000186-eafc-d959-adcf-ebfeb3350005","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/08/judge-refuses-to-move-prosecution-of-mark-meadows-to-federal-court-00114817","_id":"0000018a-e321-d56c-abfa-ef6d83020001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"rejected a similar bid","_id":"0000018a-e321-d56c-abfa-ef6d83020000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">rejected a similar bid</a> by Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, saying that Meadows had failed to show his efforts to keep Trump in power fit within the scope of his federal duties.</p> <p>Meadows has appealed the ruling, and his case is moving swiftly through the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. But the defeats in Jones' court suggest an uphill climb for Trump's co-defendants. Indeed, Trump himself passed Thursday on attempting to move his case to federal court, suggesting he's satisfied that the state-court judge overseeing the case, Scott McAfee, will carefully consider his claims of federal immunity.</p> <p>Clark is charged for his effort to draft and disseminate a letter in late December 2020 encouraging state legislatures — in a handful of states won by Joe Biden — to convene emergency sessions and consider whether to appoint Trump electors instead. Clark argued to Jones that he drafted the letter as part of a bid to advise Trump and noted that it was never ultimately sent. But Jones said Clark failed to provide evidence that Trump was even aware of the effort until just before it fizzled.</p> <p>“Other than his counsel’s own vague and uncertain assertions, the Court has no evidence that the President directed Clark to work on election-related matters generally or to write the December 28 letter to the Georgia State Officials on their election procedures,” Jones wrote in a <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23999831/clarkruling.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"31-page opinion","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23999831/clarkruling.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ade0000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ade0001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">31-page opinion</a>. “No evidence in the Record definitively shows that the President directed Clark to write the letter,” he continued. “Instead, the evidence before this Court does not show the President’s involvement in this letter specifically until the January 3 meeting where the President decided not to send it to the Georgia officials.”</p> <p>Clark argues that his efforts to provide advice to Trump — even if that advice was ultimately rejected — can’t be the basis of a criminal case. But Jones found that Clark failed to present evidence that his work on election-related matters was part of the scope of his government responsibilities. Clark’s DOJ supervisors have publicly testified that Clark was operating far outside his job responsibilities when he spearheaded the drafting of the Dec. 28 letter.</p> <p>Clark spent weeks pressing his superiors to sign and send the letter and was ultimately rebuffed. The fight culminated in an early January 2021 Oval Office meeting when Trump strongly considered elevating Clark to acting attorney general. He ultimately backed down amid a mass resignation threat by top DOJ and White House officials.</p> <p>Despite Clark’s claim that Trump authorized him to work on election-related matters, Jones said Clark showed no evidence of such a directive.</p> <p>The three false electors — David Shafer, Cathy Latham and Shawn Still — all contended that Trump's attorneys had directed them to convene and sign false paperwork claiming to be legitimate presidential electors. Their signatures, which they said were meant to preserve Trump's efforts to legally challenge the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, would later be used as part of a pressure campaign by Trump against his vice president, Mike Pence. But Jones said the three GOP elector nominees had failed to show that Trump's attorneys were acting on behalf of the federal government. Rather they were advocating for his reelection via private litigation.</p> <p>"Private litigation is 'unofficial conduct' and falls outside of the ambit of the President’s exercise of executive power," Jones wrote in Shafer's <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.319434/gov.uscourts.gand.319434.27.0.pdf" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"36-page opinion","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.319434/gov.uscourts.gand.319434.27.0.pdf","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ade0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ade0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">36-page opinion</a>, citing the precedent related to civil litigation against Bill Clinton.

Richard Nixon had initially seemed to win the state by an eyelash, and the governor certified his victory. But a recount showed that John F.

But Jones noted that there's simply no evidence that the Democratic electors were acting under federal authority in 1960 when they met to cast contingent ballots. And the state judge, he noted, did not reference their actions in his ultimate ruling.</p>]]>

They had assumed the government shutdown showdown would end this way at some point — with the main question being whether McCarthy would take his lumps before or after the funding deadline.</p> <p>They weren’t displeased with the outcome either. The bill didn’t just fund the government, it also included $16 billion in disaster relief and, as one White House official noted, avoids “any version of the deep cuts to essential domestic programs that were proposed in the past few days.”</p> <p>But the final measure did not include aid for Ukraine, and its absence was not just a blow for Biden but to Volodymyr Zelenskyy too. The Ukrainian president had just met with the president and lawmakers last week to once again make the case for additional funds for Kyiv’s defense against Moscow.<br></p> <br> <p>Inside the administration, aides attempted to downplay the exclusion. “Speaker McCarthy has stated his support for aid to Ukraine,” the White House official said, adding that they expected him to bring a separate bill to the floor “shortly.”</p> <p>And Biden too stressed his expectation that there would be another attempt to pass Ukraine aid in the near term.</p> <p>“While the Speaker and the overwhelming majority of Congress have been steadfast in their support for Ukraine, there is no new funding in this agreement to continue that support,” Biden said in a statement. “We cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted. I fully expect the Speaker will keep his commitment to the people of Ukraine and secure passage of the support needed to help Ukraine at this critical moment.” </p> <p>How much of that was spin, wishcasting, or solid intel was hard to tell. No one in the White House would say they received an actual assurance from McCarthy that he’d bring a measure up for a vote. Instead, two administration officials noted that McCarthy has never himself said he wouldn’t support aid to Ukraine. The view from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. was that the speaker couldn’t include it in a government funding bill, lest he incur a full bore insurrection from within his party. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t push it as a separate matter.<br></p> <br> <p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made assurances that funding for Ukraine aid remains a priority.</p> <p>“We will not stop fighting for more economic and security assistance for Ukraine. Majorities in both parties support Ukraine aid, and doing more is vital for America’s security and for democracy around the world,” he said after the Senate’s passage.</p> <p>There is certainly some Republican appetite to see that happen, too.</p> <p>"Most Senate Republicans remain committed to helping our friends on the front lines," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said earlier in the night. And Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, <a href="https://x.com/jonathantamari/status/1708197233588355534?s=46&t=ZblvrXop0ozb92dtnKfhHA" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"said he expected","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://x.com/jonathantamari/status/1708197233588355534?s=46&t=ZblvrXop0ozb92dtnKfhHA","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae10000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae10001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">said he expected</a> Ukraine aid to be included in the full year appropriations that Congress is set to complete later this year.</p> <p>But the House GOP is a different beast. McCarthy’s office didn’t offer any response to a request for comment. However, <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/30/congress/ukraine-aid-outlook-00119294" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"POLITICO reported on Saturday","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/30/congress/ukraine-aid-outlook-00119294","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae10002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae10003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">POLITICO reported on Saturday</a> that he had been open to including Ukraine aid in the stopgap funding bill but was unable to finalize language in time.</p> <p>As the bill headed to the Senate floor Saturday evening, there were widespread expectations on Capitol Hill that a Ukraine-related vote would occur next week, given deep support in the Senate.</p> <p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, when asked about the lack of fresh Ukraine money in the bill, said “we have to get to work on this issue” and suggested there would be a vote as soon as Monday.</p> <p>“House Republicans will have a choice in the next few days when we reconvene on Monday.</p> <p>Are they going to stand up for freedom, democracy and truth and the Ukrainian people, or will they continue to bend the knee to the pro-Putin caucus in the House Republican conference?” he said in a post-House vote news conference Saturday.</p> <p>As news of the clean stopgap bill’s components emerged on Saturday morning, the White House kept in touch with Democrats on the Hill, monitoring (like them) the specific components of the legislative language. There was some intrigue over whether the measure authorized — or, more precisely, did not prevent — a cost of living adjustment for the salaries of congressional members. There also was some anxiety that House GOP leadership was trying to jam something through the chamber without giving lawmakers time to read it.</p> <p>But, in the end, there were no readily visible poison pills. The White House kept its distance from the actual whip count operation, staying firm in its goal to keep Biden out of the process. Officials have insisted that the president brokered a funding deal with the speaker back in the spring and would not revisit that agreement.</p> <p>There was no time to issue a formal Statement of Administration Policy, as is standard on major bills. Rank-and-file House Democrats got no guidance on the White House’s position, according to several people granted anonymity to discuss what would have been private discussions.</p> <p>But the silence implied that the Biden administration didn’t oppose the bill, either. In the end, more than 200 House Democrats ended up backing the measure.</p> <p><i>Myah Ward and Eun Kyung Kim contributed to this report.</i></p>]]>

He believes it advances a message that wrongly centers the conversation on the president and his electoral ambitions rather than the voters who stand to gain from the administration’s economic accomplishments.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6331203109112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>“With all due respect to the president, to the White House, this is not so much about them as it is the people who are benefiting by the policies that they came out and demanded,” said Horsford (D-Nev.). “We have to do a better job framing this not so much for one person — for the office of the presidency — but for the people.”</p> <p>Their worries are underscored by a slew of polling showing that the economic recovery the White House has sought to spotlight as a triumph is not making a dent in the public’s psyche. Most Americans are still skeptical the U.S. is in an upturn, let alone one resilient enough to last much longer. The rising cost of living remains a dominant theme in voters’ minds, crowding out major gains in jobs and wages. And so far, the Bidenomics drumbeat that began earlier this summer has yet to prove it can change their minds.<br></p> <br> <p>“At this point, Bidenomics doesn’t really have strong answers to people’s biggest worries,” said Will Marshall, president of the Progressive Policy Institute, a centrist Democratic think tank. “There ought to be a lot of thinking in the White House now about changes in the way they present their case for the economic good that this administration has done.”</p> <p>Inside the White House, aides have largely dismissed Democrats’ fears as premature and overblown, arguing it’s far too early to judge a messaging strategy designed to play out over the yearlong run-up to the 2024 election. They remain confident that, after winning the presidency and then defying predictions of a midterm wipeout, they have a better read on the national mood than their critics.</p> <p>“Bidenomics is the president's economic agenda and it is strongly supported by the American people," said White House spokesperson Michael Kikukawa. "That work and our message build on what the midterms and recent special elections proved: Americans favor the president's vision for growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up over trickle-down MAGAnomics."</p> <p>Americans are just beginning to reap the rewards of Biden’s economic agenda, officials said. Consumer spending continues to rise, signaling greater confidence in the economy’s stability than people may be willing to admit.</p> <p>Perhaps most crucially, Biden officials believe voters don’t yet see the issue as a choice between Biden’s economic vision and the policies of former President Donald Trump and his GOP allies. Sharpening that contrast will prove critical in changing Americans’ attitudes over the next several months, they said.<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6336985341112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>"Like they did in 2022, Americans will face a choice between MAGA Republicans whose agenda serves the rich and powerful, and Joe Biden, whose agenda serves the middle class," said Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz, highlighting a pair <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEj5lLcF34&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"of early ads","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEj5lLcF34&feature=youtu.be","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60000","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60001","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">of early ads</a> that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D70OLEpaN8&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"spotlight individual voters","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D70OLEpaN8&feature=youtu.be","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">spotlight individual voters</a>. "That strategy worked then, and it will again in 2024."</p> <p>The administration has increasingly leaned into that contrast in recent weeks, emphasizing GOP proposals to cut taxes for the wealthy and roll back popular drug pricing moves. Bidenomics, top aides believe, gives the president a shorthand for comparing his various achievements against Republicans' unpopular policies.</p> <p>"It’s important to have a unifying theme and a vision that we’re explaining and that all these policies fit within,” said one longtime Biden aide, waving off strategy concerns as “bedwetting and Monday morning quarterbacking” from nervous Democrats. “The president didn’t win in 2020 adjusting his concern every day to the latest concern on cable news.”</p> <p>But the administration’s case for patience is no longer masking the angst within the party that Bidenomics as a brand is falling flat — and perhaps is a microcosm of larger obstacles facing the coming campaign. An administration with accomplishments to sell has struggled to do so. A president who wants more credit for his work may, Democrats worry, be alienating voters by appearing insulated from their real life struggles.<br></p> <br> <p>In more than a dozen interviews across the party, Democrats offered various defenses and diagnoses of the administration’s messaging strategy and what may need to change. But nearly all acknowledged that the Bidenomics messaging blitz has failed to brighten voters’ view of the economy to date. Some now bemoan that the White House has tied itself so closely to a future economic trajectory it can’t really affect and certainly can’t control.</p> <p>“I’ve never understood why you would brand an economy in your name when the economy hasn’t fully recovered yet,” said Michael LaRosa, a former spokesperson for first lady Jill Biden. “People need to be able to see and feel an economy in their own personal bank accounts. And it doesn’t change no matter how loud you scream the economy is better.”<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6330247913112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>The White House’s inability to gain more credit has confounded many Democrats. They believe Biden’s ability to steer the nation out of the pandemic and into an era of wage gains and near-record-low unemployment should be paying major political dividends.</p> <p>Instead, most polling still shows clear majorities remain unhappy with the overall state of the economy and inflation in particular. A <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23990176-230239-nbc-september-2023-poll_for-release-92423" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"recent NBC News poll","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23990176-230239-nbc-september-2023-poll_for-release-92423","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60004","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14ae60005","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">recent NBC News poll</a> found fewer than 4 in 10 approve of the president’s handling of the economy. And though 55 percent said they were satisfied with their own financial situation, that figure tied a record low for the poll question dating back to 1994.</p> <p>“The place where economic confidence is faltering most is with the base of the Democratic Party — so it’s among young people, among African Americans and Latinos,” said Republican pollster Micah Roberts, a partner at Public Opinion Strategies who handled the economic questions in the bipartisan NBC poll. “There’s a disconnect between the two or three months of [the Bidenomics] campaign and what people are actually feeling.”</p> <p>Interviews with a diverse group of striking autoworkers and other voters in the critical battleground state of Michigan this week highlighted Biden's troubles: Many of them had voted for him in 2020 and appreciate that he joined the picket line Tuesday. But several were frustrated with his handling of high prices and other economic issues — and not yet sold on voting for him again next year.</p> <p>Darnay Curry, a Black United Auto Workers member striking at a plant in Warren, Mich., said he isn’t sure whether he’d back Biden or Trump if the election is a rematch between them.</p> <p>“Neither one has said anything that actually gets to me just yet,” said Curry, who said he cast a ballot for Biden in 2020.</p> <p>Tone Woods, a Black building trades worker from Detroit, said he is also undecided after voting for Biden in 2020. He attended Trump’s speech Wednesday in the Detroit area.</p> <p>“Gas is high. Inflation. So that’s why I’m stuck in the middle,” he said. He is considering Trump because “the economy was a little better when Trump was in office, to be honest with you.”<br></p> <br><iframe style="max-width: 100%" width="1280" height="720" src="https://players.brightcove.net/1155968404/r1WF6V0Pl_default/index.html?videoId=6337874481112" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br> <p>Faced with sentiments like these, some Biden allies have advocated for a more empathetic approach that scales back on boasting about accomplishments in favor of greater acknowledgment that rising prices remain a challenge. Even as inflation cools, the shock of higher prices for basic needs like groceries and housing still appears to outweigh improvements in the abundance of jobs in the eyes of voters.</p> <p>Horsford, for one, has directly urged Biden’s inner circle to focus more on selling specific policy wins by highlighting the businesses and individuals better off because of them instead of touting a broader Bidenomics vision that he said simply “isn’t cutting through."</p> <p>Trying to package Biden’s range of accomplishments under one umbrella risks obscuring the individual policies that polls show are wildly popular, like capping insulin costs and boosting domestic manufacturing, he and others argue. It asks voters to buy into an overarching economic philosophy they may not be totally sold on, rather than focus on more concrete improvements in their communities.</p> <p>And crucially, they worry that christening Biden’s legacy well before it’s finished is plain old risky.</p> <p>“There’s a difference between the actual thing working and the message landing with people,” said Rep. <a href="https://directory.politicopro.com/member/411928" data-person-id="411928" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695947085332,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695947085332,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000187-1473-d989-a7a7-bfffa9da0000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"member":"{\"identifier\":\"411928\",\"url\":\"https://directory.politicopro.com/member/411928\",\"preferredName\":\"Rep.

It is also home to the late Sen. John McCain, who Biden has pointed to as an example of what the Republican Party used to stand for before Trump was elected.</p> <p>Biden centered his speech around McCain’s legacy to make the case that preserving American institutions should not be a partisan issue. The president is fond of saying that McCain, a vocal Trump critic who died in 2018, would put patriotism before party — and he expressed concern that too many members of the senator’s Republican Party would instead pledge their loyalty to Trump over the Constitution.</p> <p>“For John, it was country first,” said Biden. “All of us are being asked right now what we will do to maintain our democracy? We will put a partnership aside and put country first? I say we must. And we will.”</p> <p>Hitting on familiar themes and recalling the legacy of his late friend, Biden stressed that the nation should “not walk away from the sacrifices generations of Americans have made to defend our democracy.”</p> <p>“We have to stand up for America’s values embodied in our Declaration of Independence because we know MAGA extremists have already proven they won’t,” Biden said. “We have to stand up for our Constitution and the institutions of democracy because MAGA extremists have made clear they won’t.”</p> <p>That was one factor that pushed Biden to deliver another speech on the need to protect the nation’s democracy. The topic has also featured prominently in his remarks at recent closed-door fundraisers, including several in the past week in California and New York. In those more relaxed, off-camera settings, Biden has warned that “democracy is on the ballot” and has taken a series of his most direct swipes at Trump yet.</p> <p>He did the same in Arizona. He invoked Trump’s name only once but spent the bulk of his speech clearly outlining the danger the former president poses.</p> <p>“There is something dangerous happening in America,” Biden said. “There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA Movement.”</p> <p>Biden rattled over the warning signs: the erosion of trust of democratic institutions; election denialism, the banning of books. He then warned against the GOP frontrunner’s stated agenda for a second term, which includes an expansion of presidential power, the destruction of the federal bureaucracy and Trump’s declaration that he would be his followers’ “retribution.” Biden also called out Trump’s recent declarations that Gen. Mark Milley, the outgoing chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should be tried for treason.</p> <p>Biden’s comments come a day after the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/27/second-republican-debate-highlights-00118577" target="_blank" link-data="{"linkText":"second Republican primary debate","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/27/second-republican-debate-highlights-00118577","_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aea0002","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"0000018a-ef10-de6a-a5ef-ffb14aea0003","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">second Republican primary debate</a>, during which candidates took a handful of swipes at Trump — who skipped the event altogether — but seemed to fail to make a meaningful dent in his clear path to the nomination.

As the general election comes into clearer focus, Biden aides are betting that homing in on democracy will buoy the president’s campaign, especially after a spasm of political violence and threats to election integrity have shocked the American system in recent years.</p> <p>Those close to Biden believe that the issue, along with abortion rights, helped propel Democrats to a far stronger than expected showing during the 2022 midterm elections. Biden has both publicly and privately noted that pundits were wrong in suggesting his closing argument last November should have been about the economy rather than the dangers of political extremism, according to three people close to the president granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss those conversations.</p> <p>The Biden team had thought the danger posed by Trump would fade over time, or that attacks from Republican primary candidates would drag him down. Instead, Trump has continued to dominate the Republican field even as criminal indictments against him have mounted.</p> <p>That was one factor that pushed Biden to deliver another speech on the need to protect the nation’s democracy. The topic has also featured prominently in his remarks at recent closed-door fundraisers, including several in the past week in California and New York. In those more relaxed, off-camera settings, Biden has warned that “democracy is on the ballot” and has taken a series of his most direct swipes at Trump yet.</p> <p>“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy because they want to break down institutional structures,” Biden said Tuesday at a San Francisco fundraiser. “Political violence in America is never, never, never, never acceptable.”</p> <p>In the coming months, Biden intends to adhere to his plan not to directly address Trump’s legal issues for fear of being seen as influencing the process. Instead, he and his staff believe a series of warnings by the president about the ongoing threats to the nation’s foundation will help drive home the point. On Thursday, Biden said he was moved to speak out again because of “fears about the diminishment of our democracy.”</p> <p>“We should all remember: democracies don't have to die at the end of a rifle,” he said. “They can die when people are silent, when they fail to stand up and condemn threats to democracy.”</p> <br> <img src="https://static.politico.com/66/00/e4403f6841418e36ae9a504c1c52/ukraine.JPEG"> <br> <p>Aides originally thought about delivering this speech at another <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/01/biden-maga-republicans-philadelphia-speech-00054510" target="_blank" link-data="{"cms.site.owner":{"_ref":"0000014b-3270-d4f3-a3cb-f3ffa8610000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff4161000e"},"cms.content.publishDate":1695910576679,"cms.content.publishUser":{"_ref":"00000180-1f84-dc88-a7be-1ff66a660000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"cms.content.updateDate":1695910576679,"cms.content.updateUser":{"_ref":"00000180-1f84-dc88-a7be-1ff66a660000","_type":"0000014b-324d-d4f3-a3cb-f3ff415b0002"},"originalTemplate":false,"link":{"originalTemplate":false,"attributes":[],"target":"NEW","url":"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/01/biden-maga-republicans-philadelphia-speech-00054510","_id":"0000018a-dc25-de9d-afbf-dffdb5880001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"linkText":"American historical landmark","_id":"0000018a-dc25-de9d-afbf-dffdb5880000","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">American historical landmark</a> — George Washington’s former military base at Valley Forge, Pa., was considered — but ultimately decided to use the moment to also honor McCain. Biden was introduced by McCain’s widow, Cindy McCain, who heads the U.N. World Food Program and said the president and first lady Jill Biden introduced her to her late husband.</p> <p>Biden — who at one point was briefly interrupted by a protester — also announced funding from the American Rescue Plan to construct the McCain Library in conjunction with Arizona State University. Earlier this month while visiting Hanoi, Biden was joined by old friends in paying tribute to McCain and he later told associates it was one of the most moving moments of his presidency, according to one of the people close to the president.</p> <p>“I thought about how America missed John right now, that America needs John right now,” Biden said.</p>]]>

- </script><p>BEIRUT (AP) — The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group held talks on Wednesday with senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad figures in a key meeting of three <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinian-gaza-war-hamas-hostages-macron-c2482817f230580c20b898bd65e5a4c3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:top anti-Israel militant groups amid the war raging in Gaza;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">top anti-Israel militant groups amid the war raging in Gaza</a>.</p>
-<p>A brief statement following the meeting said that Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah agreed with Hamas’ Saleh al-Arouri and Islamic Jihad’s leader Ziad al-Nakhleh on the next steps that the three — along with other Iran-backed militants — should take at this “sensitive stage.”</p>
-<p>Their goal, according to the statement that was carried on Hezbollah-run and Lebanese state media, was to achieve “a real victory for the resistance in Gaza and Palestine” and halt Israel’s “treacherous and brutal aggression against our oppressed and steadfast people in Gaza and the West Bank”.</p>
-<p>No other details were provided. The discussions in Beirut came as the war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that rules the Gaza Strip, is now in its third week. The fighting, triggered by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-attack-military-war-a8f63b07641212f0de61861844e5e71e" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Hamas' deadly incursion into Israel on Oct. 7;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">Hamas’ deadly incursion into Israel on Oct. 7</a> that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, has killed more than 5,700 Palestinians in Gaza.</p>
-<p>As the Gaza death toll spirals, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lebanon-israel-border-mikati-troops-hezbollah-51edb2263e810930569028fef7ff6d2c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:tensions have also been rising along the tense Lebanon-Israel border;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">tensions have also been rising along the tense Lebanon-Israel border</a>, where Hezbollah members have been exchanging fire with Israeli troops since the day after Hamas’ rampage into Israel.</p>
-<p>For now, those exchanges remain limited to a handful of border towns and Hezbollah and Israeli military positions on both sides. Lebanese army soldiers and United Nations peacekeeping forces have deployed in large numbers.</p>
-<p>Dozens of Hezbollah fighters have been killed in the clashes so far, the group says, while the Israeli military has also announced some deaths among its ranks.</p>
-<p>Nasrallah has yet to publicly speak about the war in Gaza and clashes along the Lebanon-Israel border. However, other Hezbollah top officials have warned Israel against its planned ground invasion into the besieged territory.</p>
-<p>Israeli officials have said they would retaliate aggressively in case of a cross-border attack by Hezbollah from Lebanon.</p>
-<p>“We will cripple it with a force it cannot even imagine, and the consequences for it and the Lebanese state (will be) devastating,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said while visiting Israeli troops along the border with Lebanon on Sunday.</p>
-<p>Lebanon’s cash-strapped caretaker government, along regional and international figures, has been scrambling to keep the country out of the war.</p>
-<p>Hezbollah and Israel fought a monthlong war in 2006 that ended in a tense stalemate. Israel sees Iran-backed Hezbollah as its most serious threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel.</p>

-<p>While on the pavement, the man in white rolled to his side, so he was facing his prone pursuer, and fired four or five more shots at him, the video shows. The man in black scrambled to his feet and fled.</p>

-<p>Rep.

-<p>As she began her question, Johnson shook his head and the Republican lawmakers surrounding him booed, jeered and laughed.</p>
-<p>“Shut up! Shut up!” screamed Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).</p>
-<p>Foxx told her to “go away” in response to another question.</p>
-<p>Scott described the moment:</p>

-<p>“Go away! Go away!” one member shouted.</p>
-<p>“We’re not doing any policy tonight,” Johnson said.</p>

-<p>He said: “You can only imagine how devastating this will be for all those who love and care for him. I know his loved ones will still be hoping and praying that Justin will still be found safe and well.</p>
-<p>“However, the absence of any proof that Justin is alive, the circumstances around his disappearance, which his family say is totally out of character, and forensic evidence we have gathered, all suggest that he has come to serious harm and may have been murdered.</p>
-<p>“Along with his family, we sincerely hope this is not the case, and that is why we are reaching out to the public to help us find out what has happened to him.</p>
-<p>“Please think about the anguish of Justin’s family and if you have any information that could assist, contact us.”</p>
-<h3>Witness appeal</h3>
-<p>At about 21:50 BST on 15 October, Justin was seen on CCTV buying food at the McDonald’s drive-through.</p>
-<p>Police then believe the car, a silver Mercedes E Class, was driven to a nearby location for two and a half hours.</p>
-<p>The Mercedes was later found in Kingswood Drive, near Crystal Palace. Police say it is unclear who was driving the vehicle when it arrived there due to indistinct CCTV images, but Mr Henry’s family said it was not him.</p>
-<p>Anyone with information can call the police on 101 or leave information anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers on 0800 555111.</p>

- </script><p>The ex-president absorbed a trio of blows Tuesday that worsened his legal peril and underscored how the 2024 election – in which he is the front-runner for the GOP nomination – will play out in the courts rather than traditional voting battlegrounds.</p>
-<p>In the most significant development, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/24/politics/mark-meadows/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:ABC News;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">ABC News</a> reported that Trump’s former chief of staff, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/29/politics/mark-meadows-gamble-trump-fani-willis/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Mark Meadows;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">Mark Meadows</a>, had met federal prosecutors multiple times and had categorically undermined the ex-president’s narrative about a stolen election. Meadows was the gatekeeper to the Oval Office in the critical days when Trump was allegedly plotting to steal the 2020 election after voters rejected his bid for a second term. CNN has reached out to Meadows’ attorney for comment.</p>
-<p>In another damaging twist, former Trump lawyer <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/24/politics/jenna-ellis-fulton-county/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Jenna Ellis;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">Jenna Ellis</a>, who blanketed television networks after President Joe Biden’s victory to falsely claim he was elected because of fraud, reached a plea deal with Georgia prosecutors. Ellis on Tuesday tearfully confessed to the felony of aiding and abetting false statements that she and other lawyers told Peach State lawmakers. She was the third former Trump acolyte to agree to testify against the ex-president and others this week. The election subversion prosecution brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is now following the classic playbook of a racketeering case wherein smaller fish are peeled away for reduced sentences to secure their testimony against the alleged kingpin.</p>
-<p>“If I knew then what I knew now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this experience with deep remorse,” Ellis said.</p>
-<p>Ellis was a comparatively junior figure in Trump’s schemes to overthrow the election, although there is reason to believe she was in critical meetings of interest to prosecutors. Her guilty plea also looks like terrible news for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also served as a Trump lawyer after the election and with whom Ellis worked closely.</p>
-<p>Her repudiation of her own behavior marks an ominous omen for Trump because it shows that while falsehoods about election fraud are still a potent political force in the GOP and conservative media, it’s the truth that matters in court. Under the legal system, the former president could face a level of accountability that the US political system, which is still buckling under his influence, can’t match.</p>
-<p>One of Trump’s former associates was feeling no remorse when he arrived in court in New York on Tuesday seeking to undermine another Trump legal defense. The former president’s longtime fixer, Michael Cohen, came face to face with his ex-boss for the first time in five years when he took the stand in a civil trial in which prosecutors are seeking to end Trump’s ability to do business in the state. Cohen has already gone to jail for tax fraud, making false statements to Congress and campaign finance violations – some of which were linked to his work for Trump before he launched his political career. Cohen once vowed to take a bullet for his former boss but has left no doubt that he’s been itching to testify against him for many months. While his own conviction raises credibility issues about his testimony, Cohen implicated Trump on Tuesday, saying his former boss directed him to inflate his net worth on financial statements.</p>
-<p>“Heck of a reunion,” Cohen told reporters after testifying under Trump’s gaze.</p>
-<h3>Trump feels the growing legal heat</h3>
-<p>Each of Tuesday’s legal dramas threatened to undermine Trump’s position in separate cases, to which he has pleaded not guilty, and emphasized how the Republican front-runner’s bid to recapture the White House will be shadowed by his criminal liability.</p>
-<p>And for someone who has the exaggerated sense of loyalty harbored by Trump – albeit one that mostly goes one way – the spectacle of three former associates turning against him will be especially irksome.</p>
-<p>While the crush of legal cases bearing down on him hasn’t diminished his dominance in the GOP presidential race, there are increasing signs that the courtroom pressure is beginning to grate on a former president who, in a lifetime of business, personal and political scrapes, has made an art form of dodging accountability.</p>
-<p>In a rage-filled stream of consciousness on his Truth Social network on Tuesday night, Trump lashed out at <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/chief-staff-mark-meadows-granted-immunity-tells-special/story?id=104231281" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:the ABC report;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">the ABC report</a> about Meadows.</p>
-<p>“I don’t think Mark Meadows would lie about the Rigged and Stollen 2020 Presidential Election merely for getting IMMUNITY against Prosecution (PERSECUTION!),” the former president wrote.</p>
-<p>“Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future our Failing Nation. I don’t think that Mark Meadows is one of them, but who really knows? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”</p>
-<p>This came only a day after Trump absurdly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/23/politics/donald-trump-nelson-mandela/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:compared himself to Nelson Mandela;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">compared himself to Nelson Mandela</a>, who spent 27 years in prison – much of it in a tiny cell on Robben Island – enduring forced labor in a quarry for opposing the racist apartheid system in South Africa. After his release, the Nobel Peace Prize winner remade his divided nation as president and became a symbol of unity, humility, racial healing and forgiveness – qualities rarely shown by Trump.</p>
-<p>“I don’t mind being Nelson Mandela, because I’m doing it for a reason,” the ex-president told supporters in New Hampshire.</p>
-<p>Trump’s persecution complex is revealing, however. The former president is portraying himself as a bulwark against a government that he claims is weaponized against him and his supporters. The idea that he is a political martyr who is being unfairly targeted by the Biden administration – despite 91 charges across his four criminal indictments – may be his only credible campaign tactic. After all, he may be a convicted felon by Election Day in less than 13 months. While that prospect doesn’t seem to faze Republican primary voters, it may be a serious vulnerability among a broader electorate.</p>
-<h3>The significance of the Meadows developments</h3>
-<p>Legal watchers in Washington have speculated for months about the activity of Meadows, a former North Carolina congressman who became the last chief of staff of Trump’s turbulent White House term.</p>
-<p>During his testimony before a federal grand jury, Meadows was also asked about efforts to overturn the election as well as Trump’s handling of classified documents, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/06/politics/mark-meadows-grand-jury-trump-probe/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:CNN previously reported;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">CNN previously reported</a>.</p>
-<p>But if, as ABC News has reported, he has been granted immunity by special counsel Jack Smith and met federal prosecutors multiple times, that qualifies for the over-used term of “bombshell.”</p>
-<p>Meadows is also a key figure in the Fulton County, Georgia, probe, where he made a failed effort to have his case elevated to federal court after unsuccessfully arguing his actions at the behest of Trump’s election thwarting effort fell under his official duties.</p>
-<p>Meadows, who met Smith’s team at least three times this year, told investigators he did not believe the election was stolen and that Trump was being “dishonest” in claiming victory shortly after polls closed in 2020, according to ABC.</p>
-<p>The agreement is the first publicly known in the special counsel’s investigation into the events around January 6, 2021. The exact terms of Meadows’ deal with prosecutors are not clear, but often such agreements allow a person with valuable information about an investigation immunity from prosecution in exchange for fully cooperating.</p>
-<p>The reported details of Meadows’ testimony could be hugely damaging for Trump because a fundamental plank of the ex-president’s defense relies on the notion that he sincerely believed that the election was stolen and that his actions were not therefore criminal because they were an exercise of his right to free speech.</p>
-<p>It has long been the case that while those around Trump in business and politics often find themselves slipping deep into legal trouble, he skips free. The apparent decisions of Meadows, Ellis and Cohen – together with the mass of legal threats now facing the former president – suggest that charmed life is about to meet its biggest challenge yet.</p>

- </script><p>HONG KONG (Reuters) – China has launched its first nuclear-powered guided missile submarines, according to the Pentagon’s latest report on China’s military – giving it land and sea attack options once the sole province of U.S. and Russian vessels.</p>
-<p>The Pentagon report, published Oct. 20, marks the first apparent confirmation that modified submarines seen in Chinese shipyards over the last 18 months are Type 093B guided missile submarines.</p>
-<p>Reuters revealed in May 2022 that satellite images from Huludao shipyard in northeast China showed a new or upgraded class of submarine, possibly with vertical tubes for launching cruise missiles.</p>
-<p>The Pentagon report says that in the short term, the Chinese navy “will have the ability to conduct long-range precision strikes against land targets from its submarine and surface combatants using land-attack cruise missiles, notably enhancing (China’s) power projection capability”.</p>
-<p>Known as SSGNs, conventionally armed missile submarines were developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War in part to target U.S. aircraft carriers, while the U.S. Navy developed its own version by converting ballistic missile boats to carry large numbers of land-attack Tomahawk cruise missiles.</p>
-<p>Cruise missiles are typically long-range, precision weapons that, unlike ballistic weapons, fly at low altitudes or skim the surface of the sea.</p>
-<p>The submarine USS Florida fired 93 Tomahawks against Libyan air defences in 2011 – the first combat strikes from a U.S. SSGN and an event that regional military attaches say was closely studied by Chinese strategists.</p>
-<p>Some analysts say the PLA navy will be eager to deploy the vessels as an extra weapon against aircraft carriers as well as a land-attack platform, allowing strikes from a far greater range than its fleets of smaller attack submarines.</p>
-<p>The report notes that three of the new SSGNs could be operational by next year, as part of a wider expansion of its submarine fleet – both nuclear and diesel powered – which could number 65 vessels in 2025.</p>
-<p>The Chinese defence ministry did not respond to questions from Reuters.</p>
-<p>The confirmation comes amid an as China constructs a new generation of nuclear-armed boats as part of its evolving deterrent force.</p>
-<p>The effort to track China’s submarines at sea is one of the core drivers of increased deployments and contingency planning by the U.S. Navy and other militaries across the Indo-Pacific region.</p>
-<p>Singapore-based security scholar Collin Koh said the SSGNs were an important new capability for the Chinese navy.</p>
-<p>With an expected core armament of cruise missiles, “this potentially allows them to carry out saturated land and anti-ship attacks at standoff range”, he said, which would complicate strategic calculations by China’s rivals.</p>
-<p>“I would also expect the Chinese have learned from the Russian experience in using them to threaten U.S. aircraft carriers – with an SSGN, you can launch strikes at standoff range, unlike a typical attack submarine that could have more limited weapon options, and that is a real advantage,” said Koh, of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.</p>
-<p>Research discussed at the U.S. Naval War College in May noted that the PLA was close to breakthroughs in making its nuclear-powered submarines far quieter and more difficult for the U.S. and its allies to track.</p>
-<p>Some diplomats and analysts said, however, that it was unclear whether those breakthroughs had been incorporated into the recently launched SSGNs. The upgrades are expected in nuclear-powered boats launched before the end of the decade.</p>
-<p>“Unless they are certain of improvements, we can expect the PLA navy to be cautious in how they initially deploy them,” said an Asian military attache who is tracking China’s submarine force. The attache declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. “But we know the submarine force is a priority for Xi Jinping, and this is one more sign they are getting there.”</p>

- </script><p>Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation in July that would authorize <button class="caas-xray-inline caas-xray-entity caas-xray-pill" data-ylk="cid:Joe_Biden;pos:1;elmt:wiki;sec:pill-inline-entity;elm:pill-inline-text;itc:1;cat:OfficeHolder;" data-entity-id="Joe_Biden">President Joe Biden</button>‘s administration to negotiate the tax agreement with Taiwan.</p>
-<p>The lawmakers said the agreement, similar to a treaty, would facilitate investment, protect against tax evasion and allow businesses in both the United States and Taiwan to avoid double taxation.</p>
-<p>Chuang, taking questions in parliament, said she would take advantage of attending a meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC, grouping next month in the United States to discuss the plan with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.</p>
-<p>Chuang said the focus of the agreement is to resolve issues such as double taxation of personal income and corporate profits, and if signed, it will create a better environment to attract more investment.</p>
-<p>“We hope that it can be signed before June next year. After signing it, the procedures on our side can be completed soon and the bilateral agreement will take effect,” she said.</p>
-<p>Taiwanese companies have cumulatively invested $28.5 billion in the United States and U.S. companies have invested $26.6 billion in Taiwan, Chuang said.</p>
-<p>Washington and Taipei do not have formal diplomatic relations, so the lack of a tax agreement means Taiwanese businesses and individuals are taxed on their income by both the U.S. and Taiwanese governments.</p>
-<p>Taiwan is a major global supplier of the semiconductor chips essential to a wide range of consumer goods and military equipment. Washington has been keen to get Taiwanese chip companies to build factories in the U.S.</p>
-<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, is investing $40 billion in factories in the U.S. state of Arizona.</p>

-<p>The choreographer ex-girlfriend who accused Jonathan Majors of misdemeanor domestic violence back in March 2023 is expected to surrender to the NYPD on Wednesday on <a href="https://www.insider.com/marvels-jonathan-majors-files-nypd-complaint-against-assault-accuser-sources-2023-6?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:a misdemeanor assault counter-charge;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">a misdemeanor assault counter-charge</a> brought against her by the Marvel actor, multiple sources have confirmed to Insider.</p>

-<p>Jabbari has alleged to the NYPD and Manhattan prosecutors that during the fight, Majors twisted and broke her finger, and bloodied her ear by slapping her in the head.</p>
-<p>Majors later <a href="https://www.insider.com/marvels-jonathan-majors-blames-nypd-racism-for-domestic-violence-bust-2023-5?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:countered in a June police complaint that Jabbari was the aggressor;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">countered in a June police complaint that Jabbari was the aggressor</a>, and that sidewalk and nightclub video shows she was uninjured in the hours after the dispute.

-<p>The news of Jabbari’s pending arrest comes on the eve of a Wednesday morning court hearing in Manhattan, where defense lawyers and prosecutors may fight over the actor’s claims that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office “buried” an NYPD investigation into the girlfriend’s violent behavior on the night of the spat.</p>
-<p>Prosecutors failed to include evidence of the case against Jabbari in what they turned over to the defense, “Despite being on notice of the NYPD investigation into Jabbari’s criminal conduct, as well as an I-Card and Wanted Flyer,” Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, wrote in her motion to dismiss the case.</p>
-<p>An “I-Card” refers to an internal NYPD notification that the person is under investigation or wanted in connection to a crime.</p>
-<p>Additionally, Majors’ lawyer alleged that prosecutors turned a blind eye to Jabbari’s theft of Major’s “Rolex vintage watch and other luxury items that cost $6,000 – $7,000,” as described i<a href="https://www.insider.com/marvels-jonathan-majors-files-nypd-complaint-against-assault-accuser-sources-2023-6?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:n Majors' June police complaint against his ex.;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">n Majors’ June police complaint against his ex.</a></p>
-<p>In an email now in Majors’ case file, Manhattan prosecutor Erin Tierney made it clear to Majors’ lawyer, Chaudhry that the DA’s office would not prosecute Jabbari even if the NYPD brought charges against her.</p>
-<p>“We intend to decline to prosecute any charges brought by the New York Police Department against Ms. Grace Jabbari related to allegations made by Jonathan Majors regarding the incident that took place on March 23, 2023,” Tierney wrote in a September email now in the case file.</p>
-<p>The Manhattan DA’s office did not elaborate on why they plan to decline to prosecute the NYPD charges against Jabbari.</p>
-<p>Jabbari, a British national, met Majors, 33, while working as a movement coach on the set of this year’s <a href="https://www.insider.com/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-review-kang-fun-clunky-2023-2?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.";elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”</a></p>
-<p>She had planned to turn herself in to the 10th Precinct stationhouse in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the plans said, adding that a daylong negotiation for her surrender fell through on Tuesday.</p>
-<p>She’s now expected to turn herself in at the precinct sometime on Wednesday, and to be released without having to submit to formal “booking,” meaning she won’t be fingerprinted or held beyond the minimal time it will take to give her a summons that cites her charges – criminal mischief and misdemeanor assault, the sources said.</p>
-<p>One new, key detail concerning the March dispute was also revealed in the DA’s most recent filing. It’s been known that the dispute arose after Jabbari spied a saucy text from another woman on Majors’ phone as they rode in a livery car through lower Manhattan.</p>
-<p>The new filing reveals that the text said, “I wish I was kissing you right now.”</p>
-<p>The woman who sent the text was not identified; it is unknown if she was actor Meagan Good, who has accompanied Majors to his last two in-person court dates.</p>
-<p>In their latest filing, prosecutors also went on the attack against one of Majors’ key defense witnesses, the livery car driver who witnessed much of the dispute.</p>
-<p>Majors’ side has said the unidentified driver described Jabbari to defense lawyers as a “psycho girl” who was the prime aggressor in the fight.</p>
-<p>In the new filing, prosecutors alleged that the driver suffers his own domestic issues. He told prosecutors that “Ms. Jabbari was acting like his wife does when she is angry with him,” the filing said.</p>

- Title: #636 - Happy Birthday Larry
- <Description<
- [#[
- <p>Hi there,</p>
- <p>A belated, <strong>Happy Birthday</strong> to the creator of <strong>Perl</strong>. May the joy that you have spread in the past come back to you on this day. Just for record, the birthday was on <strong>27th September</strong>.</p>
- <p>Do you use <strong>homebrew</strong>?</p>
- <p><strong>brian d foy</strong> did all the hard work to get <strong>homebrew</strong> up to the latest <strong>Perl v5.38</strong>. If you are keen to know the details then please do <a href="https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/145939">checkout the pull request</a>.</p>
- <p><strong>Olaf Alders</strong> recently shared his cool creation, <a href="https://github.com/oalders/is">is: an inspector for your environment</a>. I am sure for all <strong>System Administrators</strong> out there, it would be very handy.</p>
- <p>I am not sure, if you noticed this but <a href="https://perlmonks.org/">Perl Mongers</a> certificate expired few days ago. I only noticed as one of the contributor to <a href="https://theweeklychallenge.org">The Weekly Challenge</a> shared link to the site. The very next day, I saw post by <strong>Olaf Alders</strong> on Twitter talking about it and sharing the <a href="https://www.prettygoodping.com">tool</a> that can help avoid such incident in future. The certificate has now been restored.</p>
- <p>Do you know the current maintainer of <strong>CPAN Testers</strong> server?</p>
- <p>I saw <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity/permalink/1538251906982430">Facebook post</a> by <strong>Mark Keating</strong> just few days ago. I remember, <strong>Doug Bell</strong> helped many years ago when I was playing daily <strong>CPAN</strong> upload games. He gave me access to deal with the issues I was facing at the time. I just hope, it stays live and kicking. It is the second best thing for us after <strong>MetaCPAN</strong>. If you are interested to sponsor the <strong>MetaCPAN</strong> then you now have plenty of different options. Please find out more about it in the <a href="https://opencollective.com/metacpan-core">official announcement</a> page.</p>
- <p>For all newbies wanted to explore <strong>Perl</strong>, please checkout the <a href="https://www.i-programmer.info/news/222-perl/16624-learn-perl-with-freecodecamp.html">Perl Programming Course</a> by <strong>FreeCodeCamp</strong>. Thank you <strong>Nikos Vaggalis</strong> for sharing this with us.</p>
- <p>The annual event, <strong>Hacktoberfest 2023</strong> is back. If you contribute to opensource projects on <strong>GitHub</strong> then I would highly recommend to take part in the event. For more details, please <a href="https://hacktoberfest.com">checkout the announcement</a>.</p>
- <p>Enjoy rest of the newsletter.</p>

- <Description<
- [#[
- A new grant application from John Napiorkowski and Robert Grimes, this time targeting the development of a large language model trained specifically to develop Perl Code. These veteran coders suggest that using natural language to generate Perl code may potentially allow one to rapidly generate new APIs and applications, or at least give a skeleton to flesh out into a more elaborate tool.
